Comment (by ernest.galbrun@…):

 Hi viboes, thanks for your reply I had not seen the previous issue.

 The patch works fine, thank you.

 I think the documentation should be more explicit wether this is allowed
 or not, since this is the prefered way of checking if a thread has
 finished when searching on stackoverflow:
 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1667420/how-can-i-tell-reliably-if-a

 -boost-thread-has-exited-its-run-method

 Maybe we should change the SO answer, what is your stance about this issue
 ? What is the ''correct'' way of checking wether a thread has finished?
