There seems to be a race condition involved, as I'm now able to pass the test_tss_lib test on my machine (un-patched) that reliably failed it earlier in the week. As you can see, though, the trunk test for gcc-mingw-4.3.3 also failed this same test and with the same symptoms.

Jim, I'm having trouble reproducing this, and I can't find any references to this in the build bot logs. Can you provide self-contained code that produces this error for you? (understandably if there is a race condition, this could be hard to reproduce, but if you provide me with a test case that should reproduce this, I'll run it on my Windows machine and add it to the test matrix).

RE: worksforme

Note this log (live as of 2010/10/21 3PM CST):

Run [2010-10-21 16:24:48 UTC]: fail
Running 6 test cases...
tss_instances = 0; tss_total = 5
tss_instances = 0; tss_total = 5
*** No errors detected

Notice both "No errors detected" and "Run [...]: fail" above it. It exited main() just fine, then crashed.

Even though MinGW-32 still fails the test_tss_lib test, it's now for a different reason, the program terminates cleanly. Fixed.

r66482 broke the regex_regress_threaded test case in Regex across the board with MSVC that was previously passing.

f.y.i, Several of the Wave regression tests are failing on the release branch with a similar looking error.

If this_thread::get_id() gets called before a boost::thread is created, no call to set_current_thread_data() would have been made, and you'd see this symptom.

FWIW, also noticed that the "throw thread_resource_error()" in get_or_make_current_thread_data() is inconsistent with other uses: "boost::throw_exception(thread_resource_error());"

r66518 fixes this ticket as originally reported. Please reopen if other libraries are still failing.
