Attached please find a patch for boost/libs/thread/doc/condition-ref.xml which re-adds a warning about spurious wakeups that appeared in older versions of the boost threads documentation.

Unless there was an important reason that this warning was removed, it seems like the spurious wakeup issue should definitely be mentioned in the wait() and timed_wait() interfaces.
I suspect the message was dropped accidentally when the documentation was converted to BoostBook format.
Unless I've screwed it up, the attached patch should put this paragraph in the right places.
Applied. I haven't verified the change, however: I don't have BoostBook set up yet since my machine died. Mike
