It is not tested but your problem and another problem reported a couple 
of weeks ago are pretty strange. If Leopard now offers process-shared 
posix mutexes and native shared memory, in theory Interprocess code 
should work without problems, just like other Unixes, but I don't know 
what's happening.

I don't have access to the OS so I'll need some help to fix these 
issues. Meanwhile, try to undef BOOST_INTERPROCESS_POSIX_PROCESS_SHARED 
define <boost/interprocess/detail/workaround.hpp> line 21. This will 
avoid native process-shared mutexes and conditions and Interprocess will 
work as in Mac Os 10.4
