Boost thread's system time is universal time:

namespace boost
{
     typedef boost::posix_time::ptime system_time;

     inline system_time get_system_time()
     {
         return boost::date_time::microsec_clock
            <system_time>::universal_time();
     }
     //...
}

So I should either document this or use boost thread's system time.
