[boost] Bug in boost::thread

        If one creates a new boost::thread within DLLMain or a function it 
invokes, CreateThread (invoked by Boost) creates a new thread but does 
not start it. Boost's code then waits on the native thread to start 
before returning from the constructor but because this never occurs it 
blocks forever.

        You should either document this limitation (i.e. one may not create a 
boost::thread within DLLMain or a function invoked by it) or change the 
implementation to handle this limitation.

Thank you,
Gili
