#9880: boost::condition_variable.timed_wait() exception if system time < 1970
-----------------------+------------------------------
 Reporter:  anonymous  |       Type:  Bugs
   Status:  new        |  Milestone:  To Be Determined
Component:  None       |    Version:  Boost 1.55.0
 Severity:  Problem    |   Keywords:
-----------------------+------------------------------
 Os: any windows.
 Set system time < 01.01.1970, for example 01.01.1950.

 Any call to boost::condition_variable.timed_wait() with relative(!) time
 throw exception because boost try get system time in posix format.

 How to fix:
 boost\thread\win32\thread_data.hpp, line 179 (boost 1.55.0). In
 constructor
             timeout(uintmax_t milliseconds_):
                 start(win32::GetTickCount64()),
                 milliseconds(milliseconds_),
                 relative(true),
                 abs_time(boost::get_system_time())
             {}
 we set "relative(true)" and there for not need to set variable "abs_time".
 Must be:
             timeout(uintmax_t milliseconds_):
                 start(win32::GetTickCount64()),
                 milliseconds(milliseconds_),
                 relative(true)
             {}
