Oh, do you have an example for me to see where you think the new version  
is more complicated than the previous one?

There is actually a note at  
<http://www.highscore.de/boost/process0.5/boost_process/tutorial.html#boost_process.tutorial.synchronous_i_o>  
to inform users about that bug in Boost.Iostreams. Maybe it shouldn't be a  
note but a warning or something else which can't be overlooked easily? :)
