thread problems with Java JNI

A simple test program using boost::thread works fine, but when I try 
to use boost::thread in a DLL library which is called from a Java 
thread, the thread blocks forever in the constructor for 
boost::thread. Looking at the source code for boost::thread, I see 
that it blocks on a condition waiting for the thread to start. Maybe 
the thread never starts? 

So. I modified my code to use _beginthreadex() directly to start my 
worker thread. I hoped to at least get a better idea of what was 
going wrong, but the code worked flawlessly. 

Are there known problems with using boost::thread from a DLL? 
Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Justin Michel
