#8923: boost/detail/lightweight_thread.hpp: Ignores failures from
WaitForSingleObject

   Status:  new                      |    Version:  Boost 1.54.0
Component:  None                     |   Keywords:  synchronization
 Severity:  Problem                  |  WaitForSingleObject API failure
-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 boost/detail/lightweight_thread.hpp ignores failures from
 WaitForSingleObject. There's not much point in closing the handle if the
 wait failed due to ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE.

 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.
