I haven't got to the point of reproducing it yet, but I do have
a couple of questions:

- Am I supposed to shut the processes down using Control-C? If
  so, there will almost certainly be leaks unless you have
  installed a "console control handler".

- I notice that the '#define new DEBUG_NEW' line occurs after
  the inclusion of stdafx.h. Doesn't this mean it won't affect
  the uses of 'new' in the Boost.Asio header files?

Sorry if these are stupid questions -- I don't know anything
about the MFC leak tracking.

Cheers,
Chris
