As far as I can tell, the two problems in the Bugzilla report
don't affect Win32. (I haven't rigorously tested this, though,
just desk-checked the code and consulted the MSDN documentation.)
What's more, the Win32 implementation doesn't require the
additional dedicated process-spawning thread.
I can understand the desire to consolidate the codebase, though....
