Well, if your code that simple, you can extract a minimal reproducing excerpt and post it here - then other people will be able to try and debug it. Just remove anything unrelated to the timer problem (maybe after you do this, the problem will disappear :) ).

I never encountered such a problem. It seems that your io_service dosn't work properly, but why it happens, I don't know.
