I don't use the signals library much but according to the link below 
they are not thread safe.

http://www.boost.org/doc/html/signals/s04.html#id2738867

What I can tell you is that if you are building an application and are 
linking a specific version of the c++ runtime library (CRT), any static 
libraries that you link must also have been linked against the same 
version of the CRT. Otherwise you could get quirky (undefined) behavior. 
That's why when you build a static library you usually build one for 
each version of the CRT.
