 You are quite wrong, Ubuntu 12.04 has boost version 1.48 which already has
 this bug fixed.
 Still your application may crash but if it does it is bug in your
 application and not in boost,
 bug which coincidentally manifests itself the same way.

 Original bug in boost was an exception thrown in initialization of global
 object, which happened before main() and hence was (almost) impossible to
 handle in programmatic way.

 Since forementioned initialization was turned into lazy initialization,
 the same exception, which by the way is quite valid, can be handled
 programmaticaly.

 This bug should be marked as fixed.
