#6745: message_queue deadlock on Windows

  Version:  Boost 1.49.0                          |    Severity:  Showstopper

--------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
 I have a problem with the use of message_queue on Windows (7). I know the
 mq file resides in ProgramData/boost_interprocess, now I have an App that
 executes this simple calls:

 interprocess::message_queue* mq;
 mq = new interprocess::message_queue(interprocess::open_only,
 BCQT_MQ_NAME);

 The call to the mq constructor causes a deadlock, further code is never
 reached. This happens if I place a file into
 ProgramData/boost_interprocess that has the name of the mq file, but very
 different NTFS security descriptors compared to the file the boost code
 would create via create_only.

 I searched the web all over and found this one
 BOOST_INTERPROCESS_ENABLE_TIMEOUT_WHEN_LOCKING, which I defined by #define
 BOOST_INTERPROCESS_ENABLE_TIMEOUT_WHEN_LOCKING, but it's not working no
 exception, still simply a deadlock :-/.

 Any idea how I can handle this? I'm using boost 1.49 with this enabled:

 #if defined(BOOST_INTERPROCESS_WINDOWS)
 #define BOOST_INTERPROCESS_HAS_WINDOWS_KERNEL_BOOTTIME
 #define BOOST_INTERPROCESS_HAS_KERNEL_BOOTTIME
 #include <boost/interprocess/detail/win32_api.hpp>

 Any help would be super great :)!
