Milestone:  To Be Determined                     |   Severity:  Problem
  Version:  Boost 1.53.0                         |

 Consider the following:
 {{{
 using namespace boost::system;
 system_error e(errc::resource_unavailable_try_again, system_category());
 std::cout << e.what() << std::endl;
 }}}
 This should print something along the lines of "Resource unavailable", but
 instead it prints "An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect
 format".

 The value of `errc::resource_unavailable_try_again` is 11, or `EAGAIN`.
 What is printed, however, is the message for the Windows system error code
 `ERROR_BAD_FORMAT`, which is also 11.

 I encountered this while using boost::thread.  I got the above message
 when I ran out of memory during thread creation.
