In general, for us to be able to help, you have to post a complete program 
that reports a leak. Your previous example was not just heavily abbreviated 
and used the wrong class names, it also didn't have any uses of shared_ptr 
at all (although it did have a thread_specific_ptr.)

False leak reports are typically caused by static variables whose 
destructors haven't yet run when the leak report is generated. Try calling 
.reset() on all static shared_ptr variables before exit and see if the leaks 
disappear.
