Comment (by oseiler_at_[hidden]):

 Sorry about formatting; should have previewed. Here's the code fragment:

 {{{
 boost::xtime xt;
 boost::xtime_get( &xt, boost::TIME_UTC );
 xt.sec += std::numeric_limits<uint32_t>::max(); // ignore potential
 overflow, as sec is 64-bit
 condition.timed_wait( lock, xt ); // <- this returns immediately
 }}}
