     Type:  Bugs               |      Status:  new       
Milestone:  To Be Determined   |   Component:  thread    
  Version:  Boost 1.52.0       |    Severity:  Regression
 Keywords:                     |  
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
 In 1.51 sleep_for slept for set time no matter what [unless it received
 interrupt].
 In 1.52 sleep_for behaves like normal sleep [system_clock, which
 introduces problems witch changing time while sleeping] if in new thread.

 How to reproduce:
 Compile and run the test.
 Change time [date -s 10:00:00].

 Main thread will exit sleep_for after 10 seconds.
 Boost::thread will end after some other time.


 In correct situation [ex. boost 1.51] they should end simultaneously.


 I think it's introduced in revision 80450.

 Example program demonstrating this behavior is attached.
