From the docs I'd expect to be able to write this:

std::cout << "Time Before Sleep: " << boost::posix_time::microsec_clock::local_time() << std::endl;

boost::this_thread::sleep( boost::posix_time::seconds(10) );

std::cout << "Time After Sleep : " << boost::posix_time::microsec_clock::local_time() << std::endl;

and have the 'this' thread sleep for approximately 10 seconds. Instead sleep returns instantaneously:

Time Before Sleep: 2010-Dec-25 01:38:50.949160000 Time After Sleep : 2010-Dec-25 01:38:50.949436000

I've tried this with boost 1.45 and boost 1.43 using gcc 4.4 on debian x86_64. Am I missing something obvious?

The code works for me with 32-bit on both Linux and Windows.

Thanks for checking - this worked fine for me on 32-bit Linux also (Debian Unstable, gcc 4.3). In addition to sleep returning instantaneously (happens every time) with more complex scenarios involving multiple threads I see sleep enter a busy spin, never returning (process needs killed). I am trying to create a minimal test case for this. I added ticket https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/5034 to track this. Jamie
