[ raised eyebrow... ]  Weren't you the one just lecturing me about
minimizing changes in back branches?

That was a fairly large patch, and I *don't* want to back-port it.
The thrust of my question was more along the lines of whether we should
look for a different solution to the current problem, so that we would
have something that could be back-ported into 8.2 and 8.3.  Personally
I'm satisfied with only fixing it in 8.4 and up, but then again I don't
use Windows.
