not enough space for thread data

Hi As you can see in the subject this is a newbie problem. I tried the example code "Simple usage of boost::thread" (http://www.boost.org/libs/thread/doc/thread.html) with MSVC 6.0 and ended up with an error message: R6016 - not enough space for thread data Are there any settings that must be set before this code will work?
