Subject: [Boost-users] [boost-users][asio] why boost::thread thread1(boost::bind(...)) doesn't start io_service on multicore machine?

I would like to test my class which implements shared data.
because of it I have written test code which use boost::thread & boost
asio (please see below).
the problem is that threads are NOT started... on multicore machine.

one one core machine it runs fine.

any idea why?
