Yes, that would be very much appreciated.

I tried the cvs build because the debian supplied package (which uses
boost 1.35) didn't work. Same seg fault. I filed a bug

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=520472

but hasn't yet got a reply.

Yes, with threadpool 0.2.3 and 0.2.5, the build couldn't complete (with
boost 1.34).

I guess it's a 64-bit related problem as both the debian supplied and
locally built versions worked on my i386 laptop. I've changed the
subject line.
