Sorry David. I cannot reproduce your results, still, although I am
in the process of changing my build environment (again) to more exactly
match yours. I am using a virtualized environment and these builds take
a long time, which means I am trying to build at night and check results
in the morning. At the moment I moved from win server datacenter 2008
64 to xp sp2 32 bit and am using your exact config from testresults:
will let you know results when I have them.

I believe your summary above accurate of my opinion.

Please consider this submitted for stage one. I would consider this
patch eligible for check in after stage 1 ends. If this assumption is
incorrect please RM's or other parties let me know now.
