 Found that shared_mutex for Win32 is using the function
 WaitForMultipleObjects. MSDN specifies clearly that the argument fWaitAll
 must be FALSE, however the current version of the file shared_mutex.hpp is
 ussing the call as followed:

 unsigned long const
 wait_res=detail::win32::WaitForMultipleObjects(2,semaphores,true,::boost::detail::get_milliseconds_until(wait_until));

 This failure gets reflected in Boost assertion and/or slow system. The
 frequency of the failure depends on the number of threads and the timings.
