  * version:  Boost 1.45.0 => Boost 1.46.0

Comment:

 I am seeing this bug as well. The bug is still present in 1.46. To work
 around it, I have reordered the locks inside thread::interrupt(), so they
 are acquired in the same order as in condition_variable::wait() I am not
 submitting a patch because this does not seem like a clean solution since
 it involves acquiring the cond_mutex even if
 local_thread_info->current_cond is false.
