I couldn't swear about it, but that looks like there is a mixup between 
the debug run-time library and the non-debug one. It happens when you 
have for instance a DLL compiled in debug mode creating an object (new 
or malloc) that the application that has been compiled in release mode 
tries to de-allocate (delete or free) : it triggers those kinds of 
errors because the debug version and the non-debug version of the 
run-time use different memory allocators. So make sure your boost 
library and all other modules are compiled in the same (non-)debug mode.
