Milestone:  To Be Determined     |   Component:  interprocess

 Simple problem, reduced to it's simplest form.

 == NamedConditionServer.cpp ==
 {{{
 #include <boost/interprocess/sync/named_mutex.hpp>
 #include <boost/interprocess/sync/named_condition.hpp>
 namespace ipc = boost::interprocess;
 int main()
 {
   unsigned long long count = 0;
   ipc::named_mutex     myMutex( ipc::open_or_create,
 "BoostConditionTestMutex" );
   ipc::named_condition myCondition( ipc::open_or_create,
 "BoostConditionTestCondition" );
   ipc::scoped_lock<ipc::named_mutex> lock( myMutex );
   for(;;)
   {
     myCondition.wait( lock );
     std::cout << "Served # " << ++count << std::endl;
   }
   return 0;
 }
 }}}

 == NamedConditionClient.cpp ==
 {{{
 #include <boost/interprocess/sync/named_mutex.hpp>
 #include <boost/interprocess/sync/named_condition.hpp>
 namespace ipc = boost::interprocess;
 int main()
 {
   ipc::named_condition myCondition( ipc::open_or_create,
 "BoostConditionTestCondition" );
   myCondition.notify_one();
 }
 }}}

 Under Linux, I can run the server in another window or the background and
 it responds as expected when I run the client.

 On Windows7 (Visual Studio 2012 Update 1) however, the server never wakes
 up from the "wait".

 I have tried under the debugger and have removed
 "C:\ProgramData\boost_interprocess" between runs to no avail.

 After running, there is just one "BoostConditionTestCondition" and just
 one "BoostConditionTestMutex" file in the
 "C:\ProgramData\boost_interprocess" tree.

 This appears to be a bug to me, but I'd welcome suggestions to the
 contrary.
