I think that would not prevent the handle_accept to be called after the 
server destructor, with an error code related to the message I told you 
in the previous email.

I find a solution in a different way, using the 
boost::asio::io_service::work.

I added a member variable:

boost::asio::io_service::work work_;

I instanciated it in the server constructor as follows:

work_(io_service_)

Then in the server destructor:

~stream_handler()
{
    io_service_.stop();
}

That seems working and the handle_accept is never called after the 
destructor.

Thanks,
Gianni
