All: A colleague of mine is trying to use the proposed Boost.Task library in the sandbox, but he is observing some memory leaks. See forwarded email below and attached cpp file. Does anyone have any information or suggestions for him? I agreed to query the list for him, but if this becomes too involved, I'll ask him to subscribe and communicate directly.

The output displays the number of (undestroyed) functor objects when all the pool has completed all of its tasks. This seems to be capped at 64, so this isn't the source of the leak. The maintainer's name is Oliver Kowalke. But I couldn't find his email address. Paul
