Your problems might be caused by Spirit. Quite recently, a bug was fixed 
that causes an internal structure of Spirit to be initialized in a 
thread unsafe manner. The fixed code will get released very soon with 
Boost 1.33 and also with the standalone Spirit package.

You also should #define BOOST_SPIRIT_THREADSAFE as described in the 
grammar section of Spirit's documentation.
