the problem is this bug here:  
<https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6576>. If you use  
boost::iostreams::file_descriptor_source to read from a pipe whose  
write-end has been closed, something goes wrong on Windows. If for example  
you close the read-end before the write-end is closed, you won't have a  
problem.
