This is not a practical division of labor.  As a general rule,
we don't have the resources to deal with Windows ports.

I suggest raising this issue with the people who are actually
doing the Windows port, whoever they are.  If it's a
problem with the port, they can fix it themselves without putting
further load on us; if not, they'll have a better chance to diagnose
and fix the problem than we will (our chance is essentially zero).
