If you make 10 threads or 1 thread, it's the same amount of memory
that goes without deallocation.
That appears to be correct. I wonder though why Boost.Thread needs to
leak memory at all: was that a choice or an oversight?
Those test messages look bad. If I were to distribute a test suite
with my software, I'd have to tell the user to take it easy and make
sure only 32 bytes got leaked.
You'd have to find the source of that specific message to be sure. I
think its to do with some singleton used in the Windows version of
Boost.Thread.
