Not known to me, at any rate. Some questions:

1) What reason do you have for thinking that Boost.Thread is causing
the
problem?

2) Even if it is Boost.Thread, a lot more detail would be necessary to
figure out why. What features of Boost.Thread are you using? How do
you use
them? In particular, how do you use them when the process is starting?

3) Can you attach a debugger to the hanging process and see what it's
doing
when it hangs?
