Warning in VC++ compilation

When building agent++ with VC++ 6.0, I receive the following warning:

TaskManager::TaskManager(ThreadPool *tp, int stackSize):thread(*this)

c:\agent\src\threads.cpp(660) : warning C4355: 'this' : used in base member 
initializer list

I haven't looked to see whether any actual harm is being done in this particular 
case, but in general it's a very bad idea to use a non-existant object in a 
constructor. (The point being that at the time that the thread() constructor is 
called, it is called with a parameter that is a derived object that does not yet 
exist. I believe that this is at best non-portable, and at worst could be fatal 
at run-time.)
