Milestone:  To Be Determined                |   Component:  thread  
  Version:  Boost 1.52.0                    |    Severity:  Problem 
 Keywords:  timer handle leak, memory leak  |  
--------------------------------------------+-------------------------------
 A timer handle is created in boost::this_thread::interruptible_wait (the
 code is listed below). The source file is
 libs\thread\src\win32\thread.cpp.

 detail::win32::handle_manager timer_handle;
 timer_handle=CreateWaitableTimer(NULL,false,NULL);

 CloseHandle is not called on timer_handle. This causes memory leak.
