8008	boost named_condition under Windows	mdellerus@…	Ion Gaztañaga	"Simple problem, reduced to it's simplest form.

Under Linux, I can run the server in another window or the background and it responds as expected when I run the client.

On Windows7 (Visual Studio 2012 Update 1) however, the server never wakes up from the ""wait"".

I have tried under the debugger and have removed ""C:\ProgramData\boost_interprocess"" between runs to no avail.

After running, there is just one ""BoostConditionTestCondition"" and just one ""BoostConditionTestMutex"" file in the ""C:\ProgramData\boost_interprocess"" tree.

This appears to be a bug to me, but I'd welcome suggestions to the contrary."	Bugs	closed	To Be Determined	interprocess	Boost 1.52.0	Problem	duplicate
