Comment (by nikolay@…):

 What is "timed_value"?
 If you mean "timed_wait" then I have failed to find any notes in the
 Boost.Thread documentation that this function is deprecated.

 Anyway currently situation looks like following:
 - there was bug in Boost.Thread in incorrect usage of Boost.DateTime
 - in previous releases it was lucky that code in Boost.Thread works
 - in latest releases this issue (incorrect usage of Boost.DateTime) is not
 hidden and Boost.Thread code does not work as expected
 - Boost.Thread users have an regression after update to the latest boost
 releases
 - I have suggested some changes to fix the problem in the Boost.Thread. I
 know that it is not final code, but I hope it is a good start point to
 Boost.Thread authors/sustainers to make an correct and complete changes
 - you can fix this issue by any other changes (even with breaking
 changes), for example, you can always throw something like
 std::invalid_arg in case if wait_duration.is_special_value(). It is your
 responsibility to chose correct fix from the view of the Boost.Thread
 library

 P.S. I am not familiar with git so now I have lose an ability to generate
 any formal patches to Boost...
