------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 The following program should print "done" after 5.5 minutes, but instead
 runs indefinitely.

 {{{
 #include <boost/asio/io_service.hpp>
 #include <boost/asio/deadline_timer.hpp>
 #include <boost/bind.hpp>
 #include <iostream>

 void handler()
 {
   std::cout << "done" << std::endl;
 }

 int main()
 {
   boost::asio::io_service io_service;
   boost::asio::deadline_timer timer(io_service);
   timer.expires_from_now(boost::posix_time::seconds(330));
   timer.async_wait(boost::bind(handler));
   io_service.run();
 }
 }}}
