[C++-sig] [patch] STL input iterator does not propagate exceptions

[Ralf W. Grosse-Kunstleve]

Ideas:

- write Erik Niebler directly (original author; may not monitor this list)

- provide a test that fails without the patch. E.g. add to the corresponding
  file in boost/libs/python/test.

Can somebody please just commit this? It fixes a pretty obvious bug.

Thanks
