Hi, all!
I am novice in this list, so don't beat freely :)

I confronted with a strange thing using boost.signals on SLES 9 SP3. I 
don't shure Boost.signals bug, becase on FC4 and RHEL AS 3 all fine.

Test case:
--------------------- CUT HERE ------------------
#include <boost/signal.hpp>
#include <iostream>

struct MySlot {
       void operator() ()
       {
               std::cout << "YES!" << std::endl;
       }
};

MySlot myslot;
boost::signal<void ()> mysig;

int main()
{
       mysig.connect(myslot);

       return 0;
}
--------------------- CUT HERE ------------------

Compile and run:
c++ test.cc -o test -lboost_signals
./test
Programm will succesfully exit.

Compile and run:
c++ test.cc -o test -lboost_signals -pthread
./test
Programm will not exit never.

Boost version: 1.31.0 (from SuSE rpm)
GCC version: c++ (GCC) 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)

I run this test on other SuSE boxes with same results. Any ideas?

P.S. I can't use GCC without '-pthread' because my program use threads...
