Thanks, 

Ben, what should I use for representing the money amounts? 
A boolean :)) ?

Thanks for help,

Pshemek

No.  Just use the compiler options "-pthread -D_REENTRANT" consistently.

  libc_r is a BSD thing.

I think the bug might lie in the copy-assignment operator for CFXTrade. 
  std::vector<CFXTrade> may use that whereas std::queue<CFXTrade> 
probably will not.

By the way, what are you planning on doing with the money left over as a

result of rounding errors?   (Seriously, double is not a suitable type 
for representing amounts of money.  Check your local accounting 
regulations.)

Ben.
