Comment (by acidtonic):

 I had a similar bug on Windows with condition_variable::wait(lock) never
 returning after upgrading from 1.45 to 1.50.

 I had to switch to a timed_wait(lock, time) and wait for a single timeout
 before being woke up.

 In 1.45 the exact same project (confirmed via SVN history) does not
 exhibit this behavior and wait(lock) is enough.

 MinGW on Windows XP, GCC 4.6.1.

 Is this related by chance? Should I try 1.51 now?
