[boost] This deadlocks on Linux but not on Windows <----- why this is important

I defined this class for managing a thread group, with different priorities for different threads    http://rafb.net/p/u0LDDP45.html       I wrote this test example:   http://rafb.net/p/bAIhrh79.html    it works perfectly in linux,  generating this output :  http://acumenconsultinginc.net/linux.results.txt   on windows,  it calls the appropriate locks, but it does not stop when two locks, lock the same mutex:  http://acumenconsultinginc.net/windows.results.txt.
  
My class for managing threads, based upon priorities, won't work unless the previous small code fragment deadlocks.
