Thanks! That was the problem.  Though I had to bang my head against the wall
of boost syntax to figure out that it was looking for:

_myThread = boost::move(boost::thread(boost::bind(&Example::threadLoop,
this)));

As much as I like boost, sometimes I feel like programing with it is like
playing one of those text-based adventure games where the challenge isn't
solving the puzzles, it's guessing the syntax...
