I've been trying to track down memory leak being reported by valgrind. <snipped> /usr/lib/libboost_thread-mt.so.1.33.1)

Version 1.33 is know to have a memory leak, but I am surprised that it shows up on linux. Can you repeat this with the 1.34 CVS version?

I complied against the latest cvs version and still got the leak. boost::thread_group::create_thread(boost::function0boost::function_base > const&) (thread.cpp:338) It appears to come from this line in boost/lib/src/pthread.cpp: std::auto_ptr<thread> thrd(new thread(threadfunc)); Could it be that the leak is being created by using the tmp object in the thread creation? I've read advise about NOT doing that? I realized after reading your email again that 1.34 is what you specified, but I used 1.35. Would that be a problem? Thanks, Pete
