Comment (by ernest.galbrun@…):

 Apparently it is caused by a previous bug fix:
 https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8323


 Now try_join_for returns false immediatly if the current time is >= to the
 finish time.

 It should, I think, check at least once if the thread has completed before
 returning false. I'm not sure how to do that, that's the point of calling
 try_join_for(0).

 Is there a reason why there is no try_join() function ?
