Re: [boost] [thread] throw during new boost::thread() ??

If you're allocating with say new and forget to delete, you might be running out of thread handles as you'll have zombies hanging around.

okay that explains it. previously i had been using the pthread impl wrapped by MacOS thread manager calls. in that impl, when a thread exits, it self-disposes. i made an assumption (surprise) this would behave the same way. when i put a "delete thread" in the destructor, everything started working again!! YAY thanks for that one little tip, something i should be well aware of at this point but you know, the forest / trees problem sometimes gets the best of us! thanks again!
