A crashing defect in Beast was discovered shortly after release:

<https://github.com/boostorg/beast/issues/1599>

It happens under high load when things happen at just the right time
(or wrong time depending on how you look at it). It *will* eventually
happen to any long-lived connection that sees enough traffic and
timeouts. The fix is trivial:

<https://github.com/vinniefalco/beast/commit/8620439f8e38db62713cff55a428bf8b3dd70062>

Thanks to the detailed report we were able to write a unit test which
reproduces it reliably.

Is this worth putting up a 1.70.1 for? The timeout feature is new in
1.70 and it is rather a shame that people might not be able to use it
because of a defect.
