Is this a BIG bug of Microsoft's implementation of std::thread?

#define _CRTDBG_MAP_ALLOC
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <crtdbg.h>
#include <thread>

using namespace std;

void Hello()
{}

int main()
{
    {
        std::thread(Hello).join();
    }    

    _CrtDumpMemoryLeaks();
}

The output windows shows: (VC++ compiler version: Nov 2012 CTP)

The thread 0x5ab8 has exited with code 0 (0x0).
Detected memory leaks!
