I recently upgrade from boost 1.42 to 1.43. All of a sudden, the project I was working on seems to be throwing an exception before main() is called. I was able to reproduce this error in the example below. Using 1.42, it executes just fine. Using 1.43, an exception is thrown before main is reached.
I would guess you are trying to lock the static mutex before its constructor has run. I believe the only guarantee C++ provides wrt static initialization order is that POD types will be initialized before non-POD types.
