#2067: thread_group::join_all can't be interrupted using
thread_group::interrupt_all

 Reporter:  eb_at_[hidden]  |       Owner:  anthonyw
     Type:  Bugs           |      Status:  new     
Milestone:  Boost 1.36.0   |   Component:  threads 
  Version:  Boost 1.35.0   |    Severity:  Problem 
 Keywords:                 |  
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 In 1.35.0 and the trunk as of r47043, if you're blocked in
 thread_group::join_all, a subsequent thread_group::interrupt_all is
 ineffective.  It blocks trying to acquire the mutex, and thus never calls
 interrupt on the underlying threads.

 This looks like it could be fixed by switching to a shared_lock.
