[Boost-users] Boost threads bug!

On Win32:

        {
                // Verify boost tss bug is fixed. (still present as of 1.31.0)
                // This bug will not trigger until application termination.
                boost::thread_specific_ptr<bool> tss;

                bool * testPtr = new bool;
                tss.reset(testPtr);
                tss.reset(NULL); // testPtr is deleted and is now invalid. tss.get() 
returns NULL.
                // When tss goes out of scope, an unpatched Boost will erroneously 
delete testPtr a second time.
        }

I've posted and emailed this bug at least a dozen times now... I hope 
this gets through this time.

This bug seems very blatant; like it would affect lots of people. Is 
this bug known? Is Boost threads being actively maintained? This bug has 
been present for at least a year.
