I have not upgraded Boost.Function (I am running version 1.34.0). Is there a potential problem there that could be causing this? I am spawning several threads concurrently, but the segfault consistently occurs while creating the first thread. I am using gcc 3.4.6.
I am not seeing this behavior on a simple problem, and haven't been able to reproduce it on a small enough problem to post source code for...

Updating to version 1.34.1 seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks for the tip.
The Boost.Function thread-safety problem is NOT fixed in 1.34.1. Quote: Boost.Function in Boost 1.34.x has a bug that affects the construction of Boost.Function objects in a multi-threaded context. The problem has been fixed in the Boost trunk and for the upcoming Boost 1.35.x. So either you've got a different problem, or it is now masked. Phil.
