counted_base vs. sp_counted_base - boost 1.30.0 functionality deprecated

Hi 

Up to and including version 1.29.0 of the boost library I had an 
object which inherited from boost::counted_base, and could actually 
within that object control when it should be deleted. The object 
spawned a thread which was listening on a queue, when there was 
pushed an shutdown message on the queue, I could safely delete the 
object.

In boost 1.30.0 the counted_base changed name and namespace to 
boost::detail::sp_counted_base, but the way it works also changed - 
so now my object's destructor is called whenever it's going out of 
scope - which I don't want.

Any ideas - or should I provide a small sandbox example

Thanks in advance
