[Boost-users] [boost-thread] memory leak (according to Boost.Test)

This little program, compiled on VC++ 8.0 leaks memory, apparently.

#define BOOST_AUTO_TEST_MAIN
#include <boost/test/auto_unit_test.hpp>
#include <boost/thread/thread.hpp>

void f() {}

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(threads_leak) {
        boost::thread thrd(&f);
        thrd.join();
}

Output:

Running 1 test case...

Windows XP
extra lib: libboost_unit_test_framework-vc80-mt-gd.lib (not auto-linked)

Can anyone using VC++ 8.0 and the release version of Boost confirm
this? With Google, I found some past references to Boost.Thread
leaking memory.
