[Boost-users] boost exception question when threading library header is included.

I am building a small ap to test the ASIO library.  I run my test ap and 
things run as expected.

But when I set my IDE options (MSVC 8.0) to trap when an exception is 
thrown, I get
an exception thrown before main(.. is invoked.  The call stack looks like:

  msvcr90d.dll!_CxxThrowException(void * pExceptionObject=0x0012fc3c, const 
_s__ThrowInfo * pThrowInfo=0x0047f944)  Line 161 C++

  time_pair.exe!boost::copy_exception<boost::exception_detail::bad_alloc_>(const 
boost::exception_detail::bad_alloc_ & e={...})  Line 47 C++

  time_pair.exe!boost::exception_detail::get_bad_alloc<42>()  Line 80 + 0x9f 
bytes C++

  time_pair.exe!`dynamic initializer for 
'boost::exception_detail::exception_ptr_bad_alloc<42>::e''()  Line 94 + 0x28 
bytes C++

  msvcr90d.dll!_initterm(void (void)* * pfbegin=0x004743c4, void (void)* * 
pfend=0x00474758)  Line 903 C

  time_pair.exe!__tmainCRTStartup()  Line 497 + 0xf bytes C

  time_pair.exe!mainCRTStartup()  Line 399 C

this seems to point an attempt to copy something non_copyable in the 
boost.exception library.

Can anyone help me understand what's going on here and what I should do 
about it?

Here is a small test which you can use to demonstrate the problem

#include <boost/thread.hpp>
int main(int argc, char * argv[]){
    return 0;
}
