I have been playing with Stefan's testcase for a while now, and while I
can reproduce the crashes, I am still at a loss about the cause.  It
does seem to have something to do with throwing exceptions, but I am
still not sure whether I am looking at a bug in boost, gcc, clang, or
libgcc...

Do you happen to have a smaller testcase, by any chance?
