Also not a Windows programmer, but this doesn't make sense to me. In
the case that the child process is still running and sane, but doesn't
have any packets then I expect GetExitCodeProcess to return TRUE and
set childstatus to STILL_ACTIVE, in which case there's no reason for
us to do the callback (which I believe we would do given this patch).
My understanding is that we should be g_warning if GetExitCodeProcess
returns FALSE, as that seems to indicate an error internal to win32?
In which case it should probably get its very own if statement before
the existing if(!result...

P.S. Apologies for the original build-breakage. At least something
interesting seems to have come of it.
