Do this instead:

    boost::shared_ptr<objclass> objthread( new objclass );
    thrds.create_thread( boost::bind( &objclass::dowork, objthread ) );

Even better, drop the objclass entirely and do this:

    void dowork( int tid, string valtwo )
    {
        // do work
    }

    thrds.create_thread( boost::bind( dowork, my_thread_id, my_valtwo ) );
