8422	Assertion in win32::WaitForSingleObject()	robert.stewart@…	viboes	"I get the following assertion when I used Ctrl-C on an app:

`Assertion failed: win32::WaitForSingleObject( sem,::boost::detail::win32::infinite)==0, file ...\boost\thread\win32\basic_timed_mutex.hpp, line 79`

Examination of that line of code reveals that the error handling is insufficient.  `WaitForSingleObject()` can return `WAIT_ABANDONED` if the lock is held when the owning thread is released.  In non-debug builds, this means the code falls through to the next statement in such cases, whereas in debug `BOOST_VERIFY` reports an error.  Either way, `WAIT_ABANDONED` should be handled.
