I ran the OPs tests and I agree with your statement, except that it *does* depend on the number of threads. If I created two threads -> I got two leaks.
Try joining the first thread before creating a second one; it's likely that the block will be reused by libpthread (something that can't happen with a leak). ----- This is correct. The OP should put in some valgrind suppression rules I suppose (i.e., not a leak). Would it make sense to address this and the usual "boost threads has a leak on windows" question in the boost threads documentation? Perhaps under the "Implementation Notes" section?
