Comment (by anonymous):

 I observed this bug on Windows 7 64 bit and Windows XP SP3 32 bit.
 Commenting out the

 #define BOOST_INTERPROCESS_HAS_KERNEL_BOOTTIME

 in

 boost/interprocess/detail/tmp_dir_helpers.hpp

 solved the problem for me in Boost 1.47 but its probably evil

 It basically bypasses the whole check the bootstamp and create a folder
 named after it stuff which seems to be the root of the problem anyway.
 Shared memory then survives reboots though but that is no problem for my
 use case.
