Just for the record; this was meant as a compliment for the amazing insight
that both of you are showing in this area. As you know, I definitely
acknowledge the importance of Boost.Threads, and I think that the
discussions that have been held here are important contributions to the
library.
Had I suspected deadlock, I wouldn't have been so blunt :)
