Unexpected lock_exception in interprocess::segment_manager_base::allocate()

[Jim Schatzman <James.Schatzman@…>]

After allocating and free a number of objects in a shared memory segment, an additional call to allocate results in

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::interprocess::lock_exception'

what(): boost::interprocess::lock_exception

Here I am trying to allocate an item of 24 bytes in a shared memory segment with lots of free memory.

Can you advise as to what might be causing this problem and how to fix it?

Thank you.

I too have experienced this crash using boost 1.43.0. Is there a resolution for this coming soon? Thanks.
