Thanks Moshe!

This pretty much sums it up from that article:

"An overloaded constructor takes a function object called with no
arguments and returning nothing. This constructor starts a new thread
of execution, which in turn calls the function object.
"

Very nice article too.  I must have missed that when I searched Dobbs.

Take a look this introductory article on Boost.Threads by Bill Kempf:
http://www.ddj.com/184401518
It addresses the question you're asking in a very clear, straightforward
manner, with examples.
