Just in case people find this thread via searching...

Alessandro found and solved his problem.  Using 'ldd', he discovered
that the executable had been linked to a shared object from an older
version of Boost, which created an incompatibility at runtime.

Completely removing the old version then relinking the executable
fixed the issue.
