I can't recreate this problem with that version on a native GNU
machine.  It works okay for me.  I think this is most likely a problem
with the MS port of it.

If you are using the gnuwin32 version then I suggest that you browse
their bug database and report the problem to them.  Looking on their
web page I see this following bug database link found at the bottom of
this page:
