When I run LISTING 1 it appears that the threads are acting

threads are not independent, but rather thrd1 does its job, followed by
thrd2, followed by thrd3.
Am I not locking properly?
Could it be that:
...
 for(i=0;i<num_thrds;i++) {
  thrd[i] = new boost::thread(count(i+1));
  thrd[i]->join();
 }
Should be:

for(i=0; i < num_thrds; i++)
  thrd[i] = new boost::thread(count(i+1));

for(i=0; i < num_thrds; i++)
  thrd[i]->join();

Calling join prior to creating the next thread would cause the
sequential execution you were seeing.

HTH,
