Thanks for shedding some light on semaphore case.

I'd really like to create a test case but there's a few obstacles that i'd have to overcome in order to do this. First of all the app is pretty large. In minimal version there are at least 4 threads involved:
  1. thread hosting rpc server
  2. thread preparing load balancing for sql data related to rpc request
  3. thread that sends request with data definition to remote host
  4. thread keeping track of available hosts
I can't pinpoint which thread is to blame (i can't guess it neither from log nor from the message itself).
Second of all, the app is tied to local sql database and i can't see any sane way to simulate that in a script.

I know about the threads::shared bug that was fixed (i reported it to J.D. Hedden ;) but downgrading seems to me like "out of the frying pan, into the fire" - type situation :) But i guess You are right - maybe i could spot this problem more easily with this.

Although i'm still in a deep dark wood some light can be seen ;) Thanks to You i know it's something related to locks. I'll try to mess around with the code which uses lock the most and test, test, test.... Maybe i create a bug report after all.
