[Boost-users] including boost/thread.hpp gives compile error under VS7 in utility\base_from_member.hpp

Using Visual Studio 2003 (VS7) and boost 1.34.1, I have
simply declared the following code and I get the resulting
errors:

Code:
#pragma once

#include <deque>
#include <boost/thread.hpp>

using namespace std;
<SNIP>

Note that I haven’t declared or used any of the threading
or mutex objects yet. It is not possible to upgrade compiler
version for this project.
