By the way, I guess you use different threading models in console and
service modes. In console mode it can be just:
int main()
{
  // prepare i/o object, call async_accept() etc
  io_service_.run()
}

But how and where do you run your io_service in service mode?
Probably the answer to this question would explain why you get the error.
