Try

    template <class T, class R, class A1>
        thread(R (T::*f)(),A1 a1):

without the P1. This would only work for no-argument non-const member 
functions though. More overloads are needed to cover all cases. I'll think 
about fixing that somehow on the bind side. A more systematic thread::thread 
test that covers all possibilities would be nice to have.
