I've seen these too when sanitising AFIO. I investigated a few in 
Boost.Thread and found them false positives.

This isn't to say they are all false positives, just that there can 
appear to be a lot of them. We really ought to mark them up inline 
with the source using the valgrind magic macros (which I've done for 
AFIO).
