+Subject: [PATCH] boost: Add a NULL check for the pointer which causes a crash
+
+Issues seen in boost asio call when used within shared libraries
+particularly in aarch64.
+The discussion with boost maintainers is on going at
+github.com/chriskohlhoff/asio/issues/588 originally reported at
+github.com/chriskohlhoff/asio/issues/642. The crash is quite frequent
+with no solution in sight at present.
+As a workaround this simple patch that checks the nullness of the
+call stack seems to avoid the crash.
+
+Typical Crash backtrace:
+Thread 1 (LWP 907):
