You are creating a new boost::thread which is completely unrelated to
the member _myThread. Try
_myThread = boost::thread(boost::bind(&Example::threadLoop, this));

Thanks! That was the problem. Though I had to bang my head against the wall of boost syntax to figure out that it was looking for:

_myThread = boost::move(boost::thread(boost::bind(&Example::threadLoop, this)));

As much as I like boost, sometimes I feel like programing with it is like playing one of those text-based adventure games where the challenge isn't solving the puzzles, it's guessing the syntax...

void terminate();

private:
void threadLoop();

boost::thread _myThread;
int flag;
};

In Christ,
