This is the way I create new thread

void TCPConnection::MyFunction()
{
  ....
 boost::thread *th=new 
boost::thread(boost::bind(&TCPConnection::ExecutionRoutine,shared_from_this(),Command));
 ...
}

when the ExecutionRoutine() finishes its execution, naturally the destructor 
of the TCPConnection class has to be called. But it never gets called! But 
if call a join from someware else (th->join()) the destructor of the 
TCPConnection class gets called and the connection is terminated, otherwise 
the it continues in the connected state!!

What could be the mistake I am doing?

Thanks,
  Lloyd
