There are two problems when using boost::thread in a managed application. The first is the linker error you encountered. The second is an initialization error at application startup if the boost::thread implementation is statically linked with your application.

Both problems are mentioned in an older bug report. I don't know if this has changed in later releases; 1.43 has the same problem. I assume not as the case was closed wontfix.
