Yes. I don't think we should bother with a one-operating-system patch
for an OS version that was obsolete ten years ago. (Even if I am still
running it ;-).) If we do this, the next thing will be trying to work
around whatever threading bugs exist in the platform, and you can be
sure there are some.
