Comment (by ned14):

 I ran this test case on Boost 1.57 beta 1 on Mingw with GCC 4.8.1 32 bit
 on Win8.1 x86 both debug and release builds. I see no leak of memory, it's
 flat as a pancake at 0.4Mb. Overall system memory does not increase
 either. I left it run for 10 minutes each build where it drew down about
 70% CPU, still no change in RAM consumption.

 It could be my system is a dual core CPU? If this is a timing related leak
 it may be unreproducible on my machine? Or else the bug has been fixed, or
 most likely of all this is yet another bug in Mingw which has poor QA.

 OP: Can you try Mingw-w64 please and see if it replicates there on your
 hardware? If it does, it's a bug in Boost, if it doesn't it's a bug in
 Mingw.
