[Boost-users] thread problem

Hello,

I have some problems with a thread call. I have a call with a method  
in that should create a thread:

void myclass::mymethod( void )
{
  boost::thread l_thread( boost::bind( &myclass::threadrun, this ) );
  l_thread.join();  <= this blocks
}

My threadrun method shows:

void myclass:threadrun( void )
{
   while (m_listenerrunnging) {
            boost::this_thread::yield();
    }
}

The join starts the threadrun method but it blocks the main run. I  
have got a class which should create only one thread (in itsself),  
that should run until the class is destroyed. The threadrun method  
reads some data at a network device in asychron calls, so the  
threadrun can sleep during running.
How can I do this in a correct way?

Thx

Phil
