Milestone:  To Be Determined          |  Component:  None
  Version:  Boost 1.63.0              |   Severity:  Problem

--------------------------------------+---------------------
 Under Windows, the following program outputs "Error is 6" (6 means
 ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE), while it should report "Error is 2" (2 means
 ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND).

 {{{

 #include <boost/process.hpp>
 #include <iostream>

 int main( int argc, char* argv[] )
 {

     try
     {
         boost::process::child p( "foo" );
         p.terminate();
     }
     catch ( boost::process::process_error err )
     {
         std::cout << "Error is " << err.code().value();
     }

     return 0;
 }

 }}}
