No, that was my original fix. This is the same solution, but just moving the 
location of the exception. I now think think this timeout needs to be 
added directly to interprocess_mutex. This would affect the files
emulation/interprocess_mutex.hpp and posix/interprocess_mutex.hpp. If 
the BOOST_INTERPROCESS_ENABLE_TIMEOUT symbol is set, the lock() method 
would actually call timed_lock() using the BOOST_INTERPROCESS_TIMEOUT_MS 
value. If it fails to acquire the lock, it will throw a newly defined 
timeout_exception.

Yes, I plan on submitting this, but I am afraid it may take some time. It not a 
high priority for me plus I have some vacation time next week.
