Comment (by viboes):

 Replying to [comment:2 steven_watanabe]:
 > boost::system::error_code::message returns a temporary string, which is
 destroyed when the function returns.  The pointer returned by what() is
 dangling.

 Oh I see. Please could you try just removing the overriding of the what()
 function?
