Comment (by Ki Hong Lee <clydelee@…>):

 Steps to reproduce:
  1. Compile and run the following code
 {{{
 #include <iostream>
 #include <boost/thread.hpp>

 void some_job()
 {
     while (true) {
         boost::this_thread::sleep_for(boost::chrono::seconds(1));
         std::cout << "i'm awaken !" << std::endl;
     }
 }


 int main()
 {
     boost::thread thrd(some_job);
     thrd.join();

     return 0;
 }
 }}}

  2. While it runs, rewind the system time by 1 hour back.

 Expected result: thread(some_job) is an infinite loop.[[BR]]

 Actual result  : thread(some_job) is blocked.
