#11728: interprocess::message_queue deadlocked when process exists unexpectedly on
Windows

     Type:  Bugs                       |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined           |  Component:  interprocess
  Version:  Boost 1.59.0               |   Severity:  Showstopper
 Keywords:  deadlock                   |
---------------------------------------+--------------------------
 Suppose two processes communicate via a `message_queue`. On Windows
 operating systems, when either of the two exists unexpectedly (e.g., via a
 crash or a kill process command), the other gets deadlocked. Attached is
 code that reproduces the deadlock reliably. First, launch the server
 process (reader), and then the client process (writer). Kill the server,
 and the client gets deadlocked within `try_send()`.
