Comment (by franz@…):

 I've hit this assertion as well (Boost 1.55, VS 2013, Windows 10 64-bit)
 by trying to acquire a shared mutex for a limited period of time (1 ms).
 Here was the callstack:

 1. steady_clock::now()
 2. shared_mutex::try_lock_shared_for()
 3. shared_lock::try_lock_for()

 Although obviously not thread-safe, it didn't look to me that the
 assignment of the return value of chrono_detail::get_nanosecs_per_tic() to
 the static variable nanosecs_per_tic was the cause of the problem since
 nanosecs_per_tic had a positive value (about 311) at the time of the
 assertion.

 This implies that the problem must have been with the return value of
 winapi::QueryPerformanceCounter() to which I didn't have access.
