Ryan,
Is there any chance you can post what you added to your provided example to fix the problem you were having? I would love to see what that example looks like when it is working.
Thanks in advance

Sorry for the delay in answering your question.  I missed it in my inbox.  Anyway I've included what I changed in the code.  I didn't see any point in giving the user a choice in how pool was created when one of the option gives an error.  So, I added a static methods that creates a pool in a shared_ptr and hid the constructor.  This forced the user to get the pool inside a shared_ptr and removed the possibility of an error when calling the get method.
