Yes, I'm quite aware of that problem (I was not at the time I
committed the code). It was a quick and dirty hack just when I
realized how limited the Boost.Threads mutex interface was. I don't
use Boost.Threads in my own project, so this discovery somehow caught
me by surprise ;). I found a way around it and the problem should be
gone with the next update.
