Diving into the code, I just realize the real source of the problem:
struct BOOST_SYMBOL_VISIBLE timeout { win32::ticks_type start; uintmax_t milliseconds; // HERE bool relative; boost::system_time abs_time;
static unsigned long const max_non_infinite_wait=0xfffffffe;
timeout(uintmax_t milliseconds_): // HERE
do_wait() takses a timeout which will use a unsined int as milliseconds, which will make any negative number very big. Assuming ceil() returns a negative number (I might have made a mistake in my precedent mail), then we get a very big timeout....
I'm not sure how to fix this other than adding checks into wait_until and wait_for....
I tried replacing uintmax_t by long long in this quoted code, as a quick-fix, and it seems to work in my repro-cases. I'll try now recompiling my real application, see if it fix the problem there too. Joel Lamotte
