-------------------------------------+------------------------------
 If you build
 boost_1_58_0/libs/asio/example/cpp03/chat/posix_chat_client.cpp on Solaris
 11.2 and run it, it immediately terminates. Unfortunately it terminates
 also the running shell which startet posix_chat_client.

 It is not important whether you compile with gcc or Sun CC. The behavior
 is always the same.

 It you redirect the input from a file (posix_chat_client < some-file) or
 pipe data to it, everything works. The shell persists.

 If you disable /dev/poll for Boost::Asio (macro via command line at
 compilation -DBOOST_ASIO_DISABLE_DEV_POLL) the program runs and accepts
 inputs. As soon as you terminate the chat client the shell terminates,
 too.

 The problem seems to be the initialization of
 boost::asio::posix::stream_descriptor input_ in class posix_chat_client:
 input_(io_service, ::dup(STDIN_FILENO))
