[boost] Bug in Boost.Thread?

3 Feb 2005

      I noticed a potential hazard in exceptions.cpp of the thread library.  
The method:

const char* thread_exception::message() const

returns the c_str of a string with local scope.  This is a problem at 
least in VC 7 .NET 2003.  The error can be exposed by the following code.

try
{
    throw boost::lock_error(1);
}
catch(boost::lock_error& e)
{
    cerr << e.message();
}

Thanks,
John
