Could you clarify what is the bug?

Steven Watanabe — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 04:03:38 GMT

boost::system::error_code::message returns a temporary string, which is destroyed when the function returns. The pointer returned by what() is dangling.

Replying to steven_watanabe:

boost::system::error_code::message returns a temporary string, which is destroyed when the function returns. The pointer returned by what() is dangling.

Oh I see. Please could you try just removing the overriding of the what() function?
