 From what I could see (not knowing where the work object is 
deallocated), the worker thread could have finished before this 
statement is executed. The thing I referred to as being 'bad stuff' was 
the allocation of a work object which is not being deallocated when the 
thread didn't start properly.

I guess all your pMyObjects have shared pointers with a reference count 
of 1; you reset them all with a plain pointer (p_work).
