-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
 Some compilers can call ::SetLastError(0) just before
 process_status_failure function is called, so ::GetLastError() would
 return 0. It is much safer to call ::GetLastError() in a function, that
 triggered a failure.[[BR]]
