     Type:  Bugs                 |      Status:  new     
Milestone:  To Be Determined     |   Component:  thread  
  Version:  Boost 1.47.0         |    Severity:  Problem 
 Keywords:  timed_join           |  
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
 // following lines of code works not as excepted:

 struct
 {
   void operator()(){boost::this_thread::sleep(posix_time::seconds(2));}
 } run;
 boost::thread myThread(run);
 boost::this_thread::yield();
 if(myThread.timed_join(posix_time::seconds(5)))
   cout << "thats ok";
 else
   throw std::exception("timeout expired");

 // everytime the exception is occured
 // in other, more complex, cases a dead lock is observed
 // same code on Linux works as expected
