[Boost-users] [boost.thread?][1.46.1] "memory clobbered before allocated block"

Hello,

I've ran across a strange bug. GCCs mcheck reports "memory clobbered
before allocated block". Reproducible (not every run)
with the following test program when executed from gdb:

-----
#include <boost/thread.hpp>

void proc_func(){
        std::vector<int> v1(1024);
}

int main() {

        std::vector<int> v2(1024);

        boost::thread t1(proc_func);
        t1.join();

}
-----

The same test program runs fine (or I'm not been able to trigger
this bug) when recompiled with std.thread.
I'm in doubt that there is a bug in boost.thread, so maybe build system
misconfiguration or gdb bug?
