[Boost-users] Patch for memory leak in boost thread library (tss)

From: Bryan Tower (bryant_at_[hidden])

The cleanup_slots method called when threads exit appears to be leaking
a tss_slots object.  This causes a leak per thread that uses the thread
specific storage.  The following patch prevents this per thread memory
leak.
