[boost] [interprocess] Atomic read and write.

Hello,

this may be a silly question, but I have been wondering what the atomic 
read and write primitives are actually supposed to do?

I mean, from the readers or writers POV a read or write is always atomic, 
isn't it? Am I missing something very obvious here?

Thanks,
Markus
