Comment (by maxim.yegorushkin@…):

 I managed to successfully build boost from trunk with macro
 BOOST_THREAD_DONT_PROVIDE_INTERRUPTIONS defined.

 When running tests from boost_trunk/libs/thread/test by invoking b2 in
 this directory it runs tests and they seem to freeze. I may be invoking
 the tests incorrectly. How do you run tests please?

 I also re-built my proprietary applications against this version of boost
 and ran unit tests that passed. They do use boost::condition_variable
 internally, but obviously they don't stress test it.
