It's been six weeks. is anyone looking at this?

It's neem 5 months... has this been fixed, because this is happening to me 100% of the time, two threads trying to populate the map!... is there anyway we can put a wait in somewhere, or force it to run on 1 thread?

Sorry, please realize that if you want fast support you need to either modify the code yourself or pay someone. Sorry, but just because I wrote the library doesn't mean it's my highest priority to maintain it.

My suggestion would be to ignore the library and use the all inline i/o as represented in the facet i/o -- then this map is never needed at all. This will eventually be fixed by removing the map altogether and making the entire library inline once and for all.

Solution is to remove support for legacy i/o solution that makes there actually be a library as part of date-time.

An alternate solution would be to, in your startup code call greg_month::get_month_map_ptr yourself.

This would populate the map, and then you never have to worry about it getting changed again.
