I just downloaded it and took a look.
Bugs 1) and 2) still exist.
Bug 3): read_write_mutex had a major rewrite, and looking at the new code, bug 3) appears to have been discovered and addressed. However, the code is quite a bit more complicated (1700 lines versus 1100 lines). I will do some testing and more investigation in the next few days.
(By the way, my implementation of a "most useful subset" (in my opinion) of read_write_mutex is 100 lines. Boost may have gone overboard here at the price of performance.)

Have you looked at 1.33.0 yet to see if any of these are fixed? Sean

What O/S is being used? I'm guessing MacOS from the descriptions, but I'd like to be sure. If so, we don't currently have anyone working on the MacOS-specific implementation --- as I understand it, the newer versions of MacOS/X use pthreads. If you need a MacOS-specific port, it would be useful if someone would volunteer to write/maintain the code for that port.

1) is about curious BOOST_HAS_MPTASKS stuff, right? 2) is NAD, that's for sure. regards, alexander.
