Comment (by Yalon Lotan <yalon-l@…>):

 Replacing the timed join by join didn't change a thing, except that the
 program now hangs forever instead of announcing that it had detected a
 deadlock...
 I'm surprised that you didn't manage to reproduce the bug on Windows XP.
 Did you try building it or using the attached exe? Running the exe on XP
 reproduced the bug for me. The same applies to building and running it on
 XP.

 If you build it, pay attention to use Visual Studio 2003. I gave the code
 to a colleague with Visual Studio 2005 and with that compiler that problem
 didn't show.

 I can debug the problem on my side. What information would be useful for
 you?
