On Windows Boost Interprocess tries to determine the last boot time by looking at the system event log. This may fail, if the machine has been running a longer time or if it has only been suspended instead of rebooting most of the time. The effect is, that Boost crashes, if the boot time cannot be determined. The workaround may not always be applicable, because a directory has to be hardcoded at compile time, which may not be accessible on all machines, where the resulting program is ever run. So I think that instead of the workaround described in #9767 a real solution should be implemented for this case." Bugs new To Be Determined interprocess Boost 1.56.0 Problem
