#1667: Using managed_shared_memory condition variables on Win32 can lead to
deadlock on crash
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
 Reporter: joe1chen_at_[hidden] | Owner: igaztanaga
     Type: Bugs | Status: new
Milestone: Boost 1.36.0 | Component: interprocess
  Version: Boost Development Trunk | Severity: Showstopper
 Keywords: |
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
 The problem is that on Win32 the conditon variable implementation is
 emulated. The problem ultimately lies with the interprocess_mutex used by
 the condition variable. If an application crashed while holding the
 mutex, then other applications trying to acquire the mutex will wait
 indefinitely.
