I have an application that forks a child process. The child exists only for a little while, (does dup2() calls to redirect stdout/stderr output into pipes and then makes a system() call) and then exits with exit(). However at exit I get an assertion failure in boost.thread library (the assertion happens in the child process)
../boost_1_34_1/libs/thread/src/condition.cpp:351:boost::detail::condition_impl::~condition_impl(): Assertion `res == 0'
That error indicates that the underlying condition variable couldn't be destroyed properly. Are you sure that your OS correctly clones condition variables when you do a fork? Forking generally doesn't play well with multi-threaded apps anyway, since fork only clones the current thread.
