That suggests a build problem somewhere: do you still have BOOST_ALL_DYN_LIB 
defined or something?

Sounds like you're mixing different runtime library versions - your linker 
should have emitted warnings or errors about that, either way it's a really 
bad idea, and the very problem that auto-linking was intended to solve!

HTH, John.
