The boost::exception_ptr object that is being used in boost::bind as part of the thread function does not have boost::ref() around it, so what is actually being passed to the thread invocation is a copy of the exception_ptr object. This means that when the thread function set the exception_ptr, the information never makes its way to the outside world after the join. A patch is attached to correct the problem.
