This fails (CXX 7.1 on Tru64) with:
cxx: Error: ../../../boost/mem_fn.hpp, line 342: a pointer to a bound
function may only be used to call the function (boundfuncalled)
detected during:
instantiation of "R &boost::_mfi::dm<R, T>::operator()(T *) const
followed by a few 100 lines of error context.

See above for results. Do you consider it to be a compiler problem?
Hmm, maybe modifying the tests to use
boost::thread t(mem_fn(&this_type::locking_thread),this)
would be the easiest way out?
