#4254: error_code.clear() documents incorrect new category type

     Type:  Bugs          |      Status:  new    
Milestone:  Boost 1.43.0  |   Component:  None   
  Version:  Boost 1.44.0  |    Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                |  
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 The documentation for error_code.clear() says

     postcondition: value() == 0 && category() == generic_category

 The C++0x working paper says the resulting category should be
 system_error, and that is what is actually implemented in boost 1.43.

 [This might be a cut and paste error from error_condition.clear().]
