Compiling with -pthread gives the same result.

Building and running under 32-bit userspace makes the problem go away.

As to libraries, the Boost install created:

/usr/lib/libboost_program_options-mt.a
/usr/lib/libboost_program_options-mt.so.1.33.0
/usr/lib/libboost_program_options.a
/usr/lib/libboost_program_options.so.1.33.0

as well as *gcc links to those, and standard links:

/usr/lib/libboost_program_options-mt.so
/usr/lib/libboost_program_options.so

which point to the threaded and non-threaded so's, as you would expect.

It looks to me like a 64-bit related problem, but I can't tell whether 
it is gcc or a Boost issue. I will see whether we can go back a version 
with gcc, or something. But that will be next week, as the sysadmin is 
away until then.

Any other suggestions appreciated.

Take care,

Liam
