Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! My comments are embedded below.

OK, thanks for the heads up.

I moved the mutex as suggested, and the program runs without incident now.
However, I have more examples. I made 'retElem' a member variable in the
class SimpleQueue. This probably (?) breaks the shared_ptr rules for
exclusivity. Nonetheless, the program still runs OK. But, I also tried a
version of the program using CommonCPP threads and mutexes instead of
Boost threads and mutexes, and it dies and dumps a core. The backtrace
follows and both versions of the code base are attached in bzip2 format.
If you are so inclined, please review the code and let me know your
thoughts. Thanks!!!
