 Hi,
 when I compile my software using Boost thread 1.59.0 and run it on a WinXP
 SP2 machine it won't start.
 DependencyWalker shows the missing GetLogicalProcessorInformation() as
 mentioned in ticket:10824.

 I think the fix from ticket10824 has been overwritten by later commits.
 From the history for thread/src/win32/thread.cpp:

 1) initial PR on this matter from viboes: physical_concurrency() to
 "return 0" in case of WinXP [1]

 2) fix for VS2010 compiler [2]

 3) revert 1) by Niall: "return hardware_concurrency()" again [3]

 The ticket:10788 proposed another solution.
 Could I ask you to look into this matter again please?

 Thanks,
 Daniel
