Comment(by Claudio Bley):

 Hi.

 Replying to [comment:2 anonymous]:
 > As noted by Bruno Dutra on the Boost Users mailing list ("Exception:
 could not convert calendar time to UTC time"), the exception problem can
 be solved by replacing the type of the variable micros by std::time_t
 (boost/date_time/microsec_time_clock.hpp, revision 49874, line 90).

 Granted, this prevents the exception -- but microsec_clock::create_time()
 returns entirely wrong results.

 {{{
 #!cpp
 cout << boost::posix_time::microsec_clock::local_time() << endl;
 }}}

 Result:
 {{{
 1970-Jan-01 01:43:38.138948
 }}}
 And, no, my system date is not set to 1970-Jan-01. ;)

 Regards, Claudio
