std::async should work with 4.7.1, but it doesn't?

[Oliver Kullmann]

Hello,

I can compile

---

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <numeric>
#include <future>
 
template <typename RAIter>
int parallel_sum(const RAIter beg, const RAIter end) {
  const auto len = end-beg;
  if(len < 1000) return std::accumulate(beg, end, 0);
 
  const RAIter mid = beg + len/2;
  auto handle = std::async(std::launch::async, parallel_sum<RAIter>, mid, end);
  const int sum = parallel_sum(beg, mid);
  return sum + handle.get();
}
 
int main() {
  std::vector<int> v(10000, 1);
  std::cout << "The sum is " << parallel_sum(v.begin(), v.end()) << ".\n";
}

---

using "g++ -Wall -std=c++11", but running it I get

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::system_error'
  what():  Unknown error -1
Aborted (core dumped)

The program should be correct (btw, it is adapted from
 http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/async ).

The system is:

> g++ -v

Any help would be appreciated.
