I guess we will have to wait until newer versions of oce are packaged to get this fix. Hopefully they will be readily available before the stable 5 release so we don't have this bug in our stable release. > 2. IDF and OCE 3D plugins (VRML plugins use richio and are not > affected) > 3.

I don't think waiting for msys2/windows api is wise. I'm fine with fixing the one at at a time if you don't have time to get to it all at once. Thanks for looking into this.
