-------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
 boost/asio/detail/win_event.hpp ignores failures from WaitForSingleObject.
 There's not much point in locking if the wait failed since your not in an
 expected state.

 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.
