Are you using Windows XP? If you are it is due to Win32 API CancelIo can
only cancel IO requests from the same thread as the CancelIO request
itself. Vista and later has CancelIoEx which can cancel IO requests from
any thread. As I remember Boost Asio Serial checks whether CancelIoEx is
supported and if not will throw an exception if it determines the CancelIo
request is not on the same thread as the outstanding IO request.
