Thanks for replying! The operator()() method is just a stub at the moment: void PublishedListener::operator()() { this->run(); } void PublishedListener::run() { cout << "Hooray! My thread is running" << endl; } I tried stepping through the construction of the thread and it looks like the problem is occurring somewhere in the construction of the function0<void>. As a test I changed the constructor to this: PublishedListener::PublishedListener(string directory) { cout << "1" << endl; function0<void> runnable(*this); cout << "2" << endl; _thread = new thread(runnable); cout << "3" << endl; } And I get the problem between 1 and 2. Thanks, Ken PS - I see Peter Dimov suggested I use ref. I'm going to try that now and reply to his post.

PublishedListener.h: class PublishedListener { public: static PublishedListener &getInstance(); void run(); void operator()(); boost::filesystem::path getItemDirectory(); virtual ~PublishedListener(); private: PublishedListener(std::string directory); static PublishedListener *_instance; boost::thread *_thread; boost::filesystem::path *itemDirectory; };

Thanks in advance!

Are you sure the implementation of operator()() isnt seg faulting, the thread should be able to invoke it properly and i dont see any reason for the thread instantiation to segfault.. HTH Digz
