Thread Checking Tools

Hi,
What thread checking tool (if any) is being used to ensure the boost threading model is doing the right thing?
I'm currently evaluating various tools, and non of them really support this threading model.

For instance, when I run the Boost threading examples through Intel Thread Checker, I get a bunch of "errors" from the tool. Someone else ran across this, and Intel's response was pretty much "we don't support Boost Threading Model":
http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-parallel-studio/topic/68875/
along with same response from Microsoft CHESS:

I evaluated "helgrind" and "drd", but our suppression files were getting so large, the poor tool couldn't handle it.

Any ideas how I can verify our application is truly thread safe if we use Boost?

Thanks,
