https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/8926 <p> Consider the following: </p> <pre class="wiki">using namespace boost::system; system_error e(errc::resource_unavailable_try_again, system_category()); std::cout &lt;&lt; e.what() &lt;&lt; std::endl; </pre><p> 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". </p> <p> The value of <code>errc::resource_unavailable_try_again</code> is 11, or <code>EAGAIN</code>. What is printed, however, is the message for the Windows system error code <code>ERROR_BAD_FORMAT</code>, which is also 11. </p> <p> I encountered this while using boost::thread. I got the above message when I ran out of memory during thread creation. </p> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/8926 Trac 1.4.3 Lars T.
