Thanks - this solved the build problem.

I build and run some of the thread samples, and they cause memory leaks.
Actually, just including the <thread.hpp> file, linking with the appropriate
boost::thread libarary and creating a thread object in main causes leaks.
Are there any extra steps I should be taking before using the thread
libarary? I did not notice anything special either in the doc or samples. I
am also using other components of the boost libraries such as tokenizer and
they work fine.

I have Visual C++ 6.

Here is the debugger output:
