Comment (by Matulis):

 So I added in the requested code, it seems like there was no error on
 BOOST_THREAD_SLEEP_FOR_IS_STEADY

 And the execution worked correctly, with the nanosleep.

 However when I recompile my boost libraries with:

 ./b2 toolset=gcc-4.8.2 cxxflags="-std=c++11 -std=c++0x -v"
 define="_GLIBCXX_USE_NANOSLEEP" -a

 I still get the same issue when using:

 boost::this_thread::no_interruption_point::sleep_for(
 boost::chrono::milliseconds(800));

 or

 boost::this_thread::sleep_for( boost::chrono::milliseconds(800));


 Any ideas? So you are not seeing this issue when running the program as
 sudo? Since the system time will not change if you don't have elevated
 permissions.
