Certainly with Borland win32 builds, all libraries (bar thread 
obviously) default to single threaded.  I've had to build all libraries 
as the multi-threaded version.

Dead-lock was the result I saw because of waiting on the spin-lock in a 
shared_ptr (app was multi-threaded, signals library was single threaded 
in my case)
