Hi,

I had a similar problem a few weeks ago with catching an exception from boost::threads. It had to do with symbol visibility (I am using the gcc compiler flag -fvisibility=hidden), see

http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2008/09/40268.php (problem solved/circumvented)
http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2008/09/40270.php (additional insight)

I have also seen a trac ticket regarding this issue for many parts of boost, including regex:
http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2114


Regards,

Roland

   I've no idea why a C++ exception shouldn't be caught in C++ code.
   Did you try catch(...) to test if this works at least?
