     Type:  Bugs                   |      Status:  new         
Milestone:  To Be Determined       |   Component:  interprocess
  Version:  Boost 1.46.1           |    Severity:  Showstopper 
 Keywords:  shared memory          |  
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
 I have a C++/CLI dll which has
 1. method A - responsible for the creation of shared memory objects and
 filling them with data.
 2. method B - respobsible for the deletion of shared memory objects.
 Method A is first called by another module, and later method B is called
 by another thread in that module.

 Problem? Method A created the files in a subfolder of boost_interprocess
 folder (called something like "20110606204418.125000". The removal code
 called from method B appends to the names of the shared memory objects
 only the root boost_interprocess folder, which results in failure to
 delete them.
