Please do. A race condition in the C++ runtime is a *very serious* bug.
I know sometimes it seems like MS isn't listening, but as you can see
from Stephan's involvement here, they clearly do, and it has an effect.

When you file the bug, attach a small program that demonstrates the
problem. And say that it affects Boost. That last bit matters, apparently.
