Why does MATLAB Crash while using mex function that uses library which uses Boost Library?

I am using a mex function that calls an external library which itself is linked to the boost library. And that then crashed MATLAB in the Boost libraries.

The crash dump is

Use the same gcc version as matlab uses to compile customer's external library as well as for the mex.

Also, make sure that you are linking against the MATLAB supplied boost libraries. That's why it is important to use a compatible c++ compiler version, otherwise this can't work.
