Milestone:  To Be Determined                            |   Component:  thread  
  Version:  Boost 1.49.0                                |    Severity:  Problem

 Steps to reproduce:

 1. Compile and run the following code
 {{{#!cpp
 int i = 0;
 while(true)
 {
     printf("%d\n", ++i);
     boost::this_thread::sleep( boost::posix_time::milliseconds(1000));
 }
 }}}

 2. While it runs, rewind the system time by 1 hour back.

 Expected result:
 The code continues to print every second.

 Actual result:
 The code stops printing anything. I doesn't continue even after I've put
 the time back to current.
