>
> 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.
