Summary: Process::create() checks return value of
CreateProcess against 0, should be false

Initial Comment:
In Process::create(), the return value of CreateProcess() is
compared against 0 to determine if the CreateProcess call
succeeds.  It appears that instead of 0, CreateProcess()
will return false on a failure, and this comparison will
fail (no exception).  Instead a ProcessInfo with all 0
values will be returned.  If the code is changed to compare
against false, an exception is thrown on failure.
