Thanks. I've had a play with this, and it seems to work fine in 8.4.1
- at least, it doesn't seem to cause any regression that I can see
when testing in Vista or XP. I cannot reproduce the problem since I
wrote the original fix though, so I cannot confirm that this fixes any
new cases; we'll have to take your word for that :-)

The code around this has changed a little on -head. I don't have any
more spare cycles at the moment - are you able to produce an updated
patch for 8.5?

Andrew/Magnus; we do still see occasional failures of this nature, so
I believe there is still an issue here. Can we look at getting this
backpatched for 8.3.whatever and 8.4.2, assuming it looks good to you
as well?
