The c2 wiki is great for design patterns:
http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?SingletonPattern

In the article you mention he says that operator new is thread-safe, i
have never heard about that - does anybody know on what platform that
is?

Certainly not linux and windows (gcc and msvc++) as far as i know.

His second version should be just as thread-safe on those platforms as
far as i know.

The way to implement it (if you don't care about the object always being
alive) could be to just declare the static variable outside the method -
and the object should be created before main is run - and therefore
almost completely thread-safe.

Just my 2 (euro) cents.
