I added that (slightly silly) wrapper code long ago because it simply
did not work without on windows.

I never found out why, except that the root cause is NOT a virus
scanner, NOR windows search file indexing. I had both deinstalled /
disabled and it still happened.

Yeah, that might be interesting. If any windows developer could help
here, that would be very much appreciated.
