It runs cleanly on my systems and this is the first report of 
problems.  Unfortunatelly the assertion line doesn't help much... it 
only tells me that on_thread_exit() failed.  I need to put asserts in 
on_thread_exit() so the failures are more meaningful and helpful.  In 
the mean time, can you debug the program and determine what's 
actually failing in on_thread_exit()?

What platform are you on?  Did you use Boost.Build to build both the 
libraries and to run test_thread?
