4078	interrupt()ion of threads in timed_wait() of a condition variable has unexpected side effects	Sebastian Kienzl <seb@…>	Anthony Williams	"If multiple threads are waiting on a condition variable with timed_wait() then interrupt()ing one them makes timed_wait() return {{{true}}} in another thread. Happens under Linux, not tested under Windows.

I haven't tested it with version later than 1.39.0 but couldn't find a ticket reporting that bug or any mention of it in the changelog.
