-------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
 boost/asio/detail/impl/win_iocp_io_service.ipp ignores failures from
 WaitForSingleObject. There's not much point in looping if its just going
 to fail again.

 At minimum (as a user), I would expect Boost to use BOOST_ASSERT with an
 appropriate exception in debugging and diagnostic builds; and BOOST_VERIFY
 with an appropriate exception for release or production builds.
