Comment (by sudhanshu.gupta05@…):

 The problem here is that implementation of
 boost::filesystem::detail::copy() (operations.cpp:978) incorrectly goes
 through the nothrow version of boost::filesystem::copy_file (also
 copy_directories and copy_symlink). Hence when the exception is eventually
 thrown there is no handler and terminate is called.
