I like this answer. We should be trying to make the Win32 environment
more like Unix, rather than catering to its gratuitous differences.

The malloc/free problem that Magnus discovered is certainly not the only
one, anyway. Notify processing comes to mind immediately, and who's to
say what else there may be, today or in the future? Let's solve the
problem at a systemic level, not try to patch our way to working code.
