Pete,
as already pointed out by Peter, the leak seems to be caused by the 
pthread library, not boost. Most likely it isn't harmful. It looks 
independent of the number of threads created. I guess it is related to 
thread local storage management.

I ran the OPs tests and I agree with your statement, except that it *does* depend on the number of threads. If I created two threads -> I got two leaks.
