[Boost-users] the thread safe boost serialization library is thread safe?

I am testing a multi-thread app which uses boost serialization 
library..I got the dreaded error:
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x0aed93d0 ***
Aborted

Using a core dump and gdb, here is a backtrace. It appears it crashed 
inside the multi-thread library. Any advice is appreciated..
