Hi there,
just a short question: 

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/doc/html/thread/thread_management.html#interruption_points

lists the following interruption points:

    * boost::thread::join()
    * boost::thread::timed_join()
    * boost::condition_variable::wait()
    * boost::condition_variable::timed_wait()
    * boost::condition_variable_any::wait()
    * boost::condition_variable_any::timed_wait()
    * boost::thread::sleep()
    * boost::this_thread::sleep()
    * boost::this_thread::interruption_point()

Is (and if so: why is) a lock on a mutex no interruption point ?

Thanks and Best Regards,
Ruediger
