Milestone:  To Be Determined        |  Component:  interprocess
  Version:  Boost 1.54.0            |   Severity:  Problem

------------------------------------+--------------------------
 A simplified example of what goes wrong (the reality is more complex, and
 also very difficult for me to change):

 On Windows I have an exe and a dll that both use boost.interprocess. The
 dll interface is C-like, so that the exe and dll can use different
 runtimes (i.e. Debug and Release runtimes).
 This works fine as long as I comment out the
 BOOST_INTERPROCESS_HAS_KERNEL_BOOTTIME define in workaround.hpp. But if I
 leave that define in the code I will get random access violations deep
 inside the tmp_folder function (or one of the other functions in
 tmp_dir_helpers).

 I believe that this is due to the windows_intermodule_singleton, which is
 only used when ...HAS_KERNEL_BOOTTIME is defined. This singleton will get
 created in one runtime and then accessed in another, which does not work
 since it contains a std::map, which is an STL object that is not possible
 to pass between runtimes in Visual C++.

 If it is possible to fix this that would be great, but the other option
 would be a "nicer" way to turn off the singleton without having to patch
 one of the boost headers.
