I figured out the problem with boost::process's codecvt: It doesn't like empty strings and if there's no alphavantage key set we were trying to set the ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY environment variable with an empty string. I've fixed that, it will be in 4.904 which I'll proceed to release; if nothing goes wrong that will be later today (well, today if you're in America. I might not make it for Eurpeans and it's already tomorrow in the far east.)
