Perhaps I should add that I am using version 1.31 of boost. I have also 
discovered that it seems (it might be an illusion, you never know) to work 
when I compile against boost_thread-vc71-mt-gd-1_31.lib, but not against the 
release lib boost_thread-vc71-mt-1_31.lib. I would have guessed that 
compiling against the release lib would be better when compiling my program 
in release mode and the debug lib in debug mode, but it doesn't seem to work 
that way. If I compile againt the debug lib it does work.
