Hi,
 On Windows the ~thread() doesnot detach the thread. Hence, the below listed 
code will throw boost::thread_resource_error().

 int num_threads = 0;
 while(true)
  {
   try
   {
    boost::thread thr(f);
    ++num_threads;
   }
   catch (const std::exception & e)
   {
     std::cout<<"Exception..."<<e.what()<<std::endl;
     std::cout<<"Number of threads created... "<<num_threads<<std::endl;
     break;
   }
  } // end of while

 Would it be possible to create threads in detached state with boost_1.34 ?
