    Don't trust CreateFileMapping() to clear the error code on success. · 8e6b4ee2

    We must test GetLastError() even when CreateFileMapping() returns a
    non-null handle.  If that value were left over from some previous system
    call, we might be fooled into thinking the segment already existed.
    Experimentation on Windows 7 suggests that CreateFileMapping() clears
    the error code on success, but it is not documented to do so, so let's
    not rely on that happening in all Windows releases.
