No problem. I have a sort of Windows-label stuck on me for ages, and those random buildfarm failures are annoying with TAP tests on Windows. > If it turns out not to break anything, would you consider backpatching? > On the one hand it fixes a bug, on the other hand it affects all > frontend executables...
