 The attached program (main.cpp) loads a bundle and calls the function
 exported herein. The code in the bundle (bundle.cpp) simply starts a
 thread, joins it and exits. Then the bundle is unloaded. After a few
 hundred of these cycles program crashes.

 To compile and create the bundle one might use the following command
 lines:


 {{{
 g++ -x c++ -arch i386 -IPATH/TO/BOOST/HEADER  -c bundle.cpp -o bundle.o

 mkdir -p bundle.plugin/Contents/MacOS

 g++ -o bundle.plugin/Contents/MacOS/bundle -LPATH/TO/BOOST/LIB
 -lboost_thread-xgcc40-mt-1_37 -arch i386 -bundle bundle.o
 }}}

 and for the loader:


 {{{
 g++ -x c++ -arch i386 -I/Developer/Headers/FlatCarbon/ -c main.cpp -o
 main.o

 g++ -o main -framework CoreFoundation -arch i386 main.o
 }}}

 I reproduced this behavior with macosx 10.4 / 10.5 and boost
 1.35/1.36/1.37/current trunk. My gcc version is 4.0.1.
