It doesn't look like a compiler bug to me. All the compilers I have give
the same
results on your test program. The integral promotion rules can be tricky
(which is why my Intel compiler warns:
foo.cpp(5): warning #68: integer conversion resulted in a change of sign
    signed long b = -2 / a;
                    ^
)

Boost.Threads may have a bug, however.
