Comment (by viboes):

 The type detail::win32::handle_manager closes the handle on destruction


 {{{
             class BOOST_THREAD_DECL handle_manager
             {
             private:
                 handle handle_to_manage;
                 handle_manager(handle_manager&);
                 handle_manager& operator=(handle_manager&);

                 void cleanup()
                 {
                     if(handle_to_manage &&
 handle_to_manage!=invalid_handle_value)
                     {
                         BOOST_VERIFY(CloseHandle(handle_to_manage));
                     }
                 }

             public:
             //...

                 ~handle_manager()
                 {
                     cleanup();
                 }

 Have you had some experience with a memory leak?
