ost::Thread

[David Durham]

  I would suggest a try/catch(exception)/catch(...) around the exec 
handler for the thread... Sure, it should be left up to the derived 
class to catch exceptions, but its exception handler could accidently 
cause another throw which would not be caught... I cannot remember, but 
I think a segfault occurs when an uncaught exception occurs in a thread; 
but it probably depends on the thread library being used.  If it were 
put into ost::Thread's exec handler, it should catch 'std::exception' 
and probably print e.what() to stderr and abort().  and just print some 
error message in the ... handler and abort.

Just a thought; it was something I did in my thread class
