     Type:  Bugs              |      Status:  new     
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |   Component:  signals2
  Version:  Boost 1.52.0      |    Severity:  Problem

------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 During signal invocation, we take care to unlock the signal's mutex before
 executing its slots, in order to avoid any possible locking order
 violations between the signal's mutex and whatever the user may be doing
 in the slot code.  However, we do destroy slots while holding the signal's
 mutex.  It would be better if we could avoid holding the signal's mutex
 locked while calling the slots' destructors.
