Problem in running boost eample blocking_udp_echo_client on MacOSX - c++

Question

I am trying to run blocking_udp_echo_client on MacOS X
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/doc/html/boost_asio/example/echo/blocking_udp_echo_client.cpp
I run it with argument 'localhost 9000'
But the program crashes and this is the line in the source which crashes:
`udp::socket s(io_service, udp::endpoint(udp::v4(), 0));'
this is the stack trace:

This is the gdb output:
(gdb) continue

Does someone has any idea why this example does not work on mac osx?
Thank you.

Looks like a bug in the boost::asio library. Here is the corresponding bug report.
