I couldn't reproduce this crash (Boost 1.49, MSVC10, Win7), maybe
because I don't have any trafic on COM1, but any way -- asio objects
are not thread-safe, so it might be unsafe to call cancel() this way.
Instead, try using the following: ioService.post([&]
{serialPort.cancel();}); - and see if it helps.
