The BoostPro binaries you have installed are compiled for VC90 with SP1 (last 
service pack). Perhaps the mingw runtime you use is not compatible with that.

I am not used to MinGW. I know that they do their best to be binary 
compatible 
with the Microsoft runtime libraries. But, I imagine that one version of 
MinGW 
is compatible either with VC80 or VC90 (and probably the Service Packs 
creates 
new incompatibility). Do you have a clue what runtime your binaries created 
with MinGW link with?
