#1804: Check for EBUSY instead of ETIMEDOUT in thread/pthread/mutex.hpp

 I believe this code:

 bool timed_lock(system_time const & abs_time)
 {
     struct timespec const timeout=detail::get_timespec(abs_time);
     int const res=pthread_mutex_timedlock(&m,&timeout);
     BOOST_ASSERT(!res || res==EBUSY);
     return !res;
 }

 should test ETIMEDOUT not EBUSY.

 I couldn't find any other tickets for this and it appears to
 still be this way in the the svn trunk.
