I don't understand. What about the quite explicit message in http://www.boost.org/doc/html/threads/implementation_notes.html#threads.impl ementation_notes.win32 ?

Well, I never read that. I highly recommend you copy that note over to the documentation for the Thread constructor. The limitations should be attached to the method in question, not in some arbitrary chapter later on (no one reads manuals cover to cover). Just my 2 cents. Gili
