      Currently we are using the default handler, which prints a message to stderr and then calls abort(). This behavior makes this type of problem difficult to debug.

      Instead, we can have our own function be called via BOOST_ENABLE_ASSERT_HANDLER, which can put the message into the server log and then shut down the server via fassert.

      Boost assertions can be tripped by invalid use of shared_ptr and scoped_ptr, for example.
