#11660: interprocess::winapi::get_last_bootup_time(std::string &stamp) fails,
resulting in bad IPC name
------------------------------+--------------------------
 Reporter:  bmccart@…         |      Owner:  igaztanaga
     Type:  Bugs              |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |  Component:  interprocess
  Version:  Boost 1.59.0      |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:  bootup time       |
------------------------------+--------------------------
 Using interprocess::managed_shared_memory fails on Windows 7 in restricted
 environments (i.e. running under IIS/AppPool).  It fails to create IPC
 primites properly, even if an administrator account is being impersonated.
 It doesn't fail if running a regular process as the IIS/AppPool user.  It
 fails in that the shared memory object created doesn't have the intended
 name, and when boost interprocess attempts to open the primitive in
 another process it fails, do to file name discrepancies.

 Specifically, interprocess::winapi::get_last_bootup_time(std::string
 &stamp) fails to retrieve the bootup time, as a consequence of failing to
 open the system log file (GetLastError() produces ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED) and
 instead produces an empty string.  This does not occur in the other
 process.

 The attached alternate implementation for getting a bootup time is working
 for me in the above scenario.
