Comment (by Michael Sternberg):

 The problem still wasn't fixed when boost::this_thread::sleep is running
 in thread. Consider the following piece of code, sleep still hangs when
 system is rolled backwards:

 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <boost/thread.hpp>
 int i = 0;
 void testfunc()
 {
     while(true)
     {
         printf("%d\n", ++i);
         boost::this_thread::sleep( boost::posix_time::milliseconds(800));
     }
 }

 int main()
 {
     boost::thread * th = new boost::thread(&testfunc);
     th->join();
     return 0;
 }
