Actually, we thought that this had all been resolved years ago when we
made the Unix versions work like that; fixing the Windows code to behave
like the Unix versions seemed minor.
What I find surprising is that it seems a substantial community of apps
is already in existence that have never been run with anything but
Windows Postgres.
