The difficulty we're having is that this is a very ugly fix for a problem
that's been reported by no one except you. I tend to agree with
Andreas' theory that what you are seeing is misbehavior of some
antivirus software on your machine, rather than a change of Windows' own
behavior. We are not going to accept this patch without more evidence
that there really has been a change on Microsoft's part.
