I made the changes that you recommended, but it did not affect the 
result.  I still have a program that seg faults.

Now, that said, as I stated in my previous post, this segv occurs when I 
link against the debug version of the boost::thread library and when I 
posted my original message I didn't have the release version because for 
some reason, as I stated, a bjam build directly in the thread/build 
directory did not build a release version.  I was able to create a 
release version of the boost:thread library by building the whole world. 
Now, when I link my original program with the release version of the 
boost::thread library I do not have this problem.  Hmmm...I'm not sure 
what to make of this.

In general, I think that there is something wrong with the debug version 
of the boost:thread library on this platform (RH Linux WS V4 with gcc 
3.4.5) and I'm not sure what it is.  Either that, or I'm just not 
building it properly.

I have pasted the debugger output at the end of this message.  Seems 
that for some reason it doesn't like the actual functor invocation on 
function0.  I'm not quite sure about how to debug this, especially since 
the release version of the lib works fine.

One note, if I print something to the screen in calculate() I only get 
one invocation.  Hmmm....

Any ideas are welcome.  Thanks!!
