Package: libboost-thread1.46.1
Version: 1.46.1-7+b1
Severity: normal

Hallo, 

for solarpowerlog I implemented a working thread to schedule tasks to be executed in a specified time.
It is receiving its work by a pushing it to a list and then calling thread.interrupt(). [1] line 79

This scheme works very fine since boost 1.38, but on a recent recompile I found that occasionally
(like the programm running several hours) the flow stopped. 

Debugging the issue I found that the the programm halted always "inside" of libboost, obviously
trying to obtain some mutex. 

The thread (in [1] at line 82ff) is never interrupted in this case. 

Recompilation with 1.48 fixes the problem (at least after 10hours for 10 instances), so I assume only 1.46 is affected.
