Comment (by Lars Hagström <lars@…>):

 I've now got this happening regularly. It appears to only happen at the
 very start of running the program. So I've rewritten it with just chrono
 and no timers, and also added a python script that runs it repeatedly.

 Can be found here (an svn repo):
 http://svn.code.sf.net/p/safir/svn/misc/boost_sleep_test/


 Anyway, this now fails quite quickly on a VM like the one I described
 above.

 Will try with the develop branch "soon" (am home with sick kid atm).
