How about the description of changes since boost 1.34? ;-)  If you look, you 
will find the details in there. It basically has to do with changes in order 
to match the C++ 0x compromises on threading.

No, please check the boost documentation.

As for how the problem may manifest itself? - With stack overflows _if_ it 
compiles, and with concurrency issues, which won't cause problems all the 
time of course.

I'm not saying there's definitely a problem: I simply responded to a
report that the source doesn't play nice with boost 1.36 by pointing
out that the README explicitly states that later versions of boost
than 1.34_1 aren't supported by us.

Until such time as I can thoroughly test the code with 1.35/1.36 (as I
know some threading changes were made), it won't be supported by us.
That's not to say it won't work (VS2008 isn't supported by us either,
but it reportedly is able to build the code ...).
