 Hi,

 I think there is an isue currently with some of the classes that use time
 sensitive code.

 After a quick look, I found that boost::deadline_timer and
 this_thread::sleep() were sensitive to system clock change.

 Even if using durations (instead of relative times) setting the system
 clock back affects those timers.

 Do you know what might be the cause of such behavior (eventhough duration
 is used)?

 Thanks
