[Boost-users] Thread is not interrupted

Hi,

I am using boost::asio to create a server. When a new connection is 
established (inside the asio read handle) a new thread (boost::thread) is 
created. The thread object pointer is kept in a  static vector. When the 
next connection is established, the thread pointer available in the static 
vector is read and interrupted. But the thread is not interrupted! The 
thread is just an infinite loop, in which interruption is enabled. I have 
wrttien the exception handler also. Not able to understand why this is not 
working in this situation. Otherwise this works. To make this clear given 
below are the code snippets...

//ASIO based read handler
void TCPConnection::HandleRead(const boost::system::error_code& Error)
{
     TCPConnection::Threadvector[0]->interrupt(); //Threadvector is static 
variable in the class, for easy reading written like this

      boost::thread *th=new 
boost::thread(boost::bind(&TCPConnection::ExecutionRoutine,shared_from_this(),Command));
      TCPConnection::Threadvector.push_back(th);
}

//ExecutionRoutine looks like this
int TCPConnection::ExecutionRoutine(string Command)
{
    try
    {
        while(1)
        {
            boost::this_thread::interruption_point();
        }
    }
    catch(boost::thread_interrupted const&)
    {
        return 0;
    }
    return 0;
}

Please share some idea...

Thanks,
  Lloyd
