Comment (by Pavel Machyniak <machyniak@…>):

 While it will be fixed, here is workaround: convert to absolute time.

 Example (boost 1.46):
 {{{
 void sleepMillisec( long milliseconds )
 {
     boost::this_thread::sleep(
         boost::get_system_time() +
         boost::posix_time::milliseconds( std::max<long>(milliseconds,0) )
 );
 }
 }}}
