Maybe I'm mistaken, but it seems to me that CRT linkages of boost and
your application do not match:
libboost_thread-vc100-mt-s-1_45.lib -- uses static CRT
__imp__WaitForSingleObject -- looks like you use /MD option in your
code-generation settings, i.e. link CRT dynamically. Try to change
this option to /MT.
