struct A{
public:
   A(){ // (1)
     boost::thread(bind(&A::start,this)).swap(this->thr);
   }
   void start(){
     ...
   }
private:
   boost::thread thr;
};

ptr_vector<A> avec;

(1) you could also construct A::thr upfront, but some compilers  
generate warnings if the "this"-pointer is used in member initializers
