New description:

 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.
