2442,Application statically linked with Boost.Thread crashes when Google Desktop is installed (Windows XP),kvo5v7l02@…,Anthony Williams,"Application statically linked with Boost.Thread crashes when Google Desktop is installed (Windows XP, VC9). 

Google Desktop installs a hook and injects its DLL to application address space on application startup. This DLL creates its own thread, does something, and then calls Windows API's `FreeLibraryAndExitThread()` function. This function eventually calls `boost::detail::create_once_mutex()`, which crashes with VC ""buffer security check"" (see /GS option, which is default). I suppose this is because of CRT was not initialized yet (application crashes on the very start) and particularly because `__security_init_cookie()` function was not called. It seems there are two possible workarounds: 

1. Recompile Boost.Thread with /GS- option 

2. Add an explicit call of `__security_init_cookie()` function, e.g. in run_thread_exit_callbacks() function. 

The crash can be reliably reproduced on Windows XP with the latest Google Desktop (5.8.0809.23506-en-pb) installed. To reproduce:

1. Download and unzip test application archive from http://engineering.meta-comm.com/resources/boost_thread_with_google_desktop_crash_test.zip

2. Open the folder with the test application in Windows Explorer, and launch several (>= 3) instances of ""run.bat"" at once.

I was not able to reproduce it on Windows Vista.",Bugs,closed,To Be Determined,thread,Boost 1.38.0,Problem,obsolete,thread google desktop GS,
