[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Harald, thanks for the bug report.  This part of Emacs is a bit
messy, but I hacked away at it and came up with
the attached proposed patch.

This patch touches some code for Microsoft platforms
so I'm CC'ing this to Eli.  I'm also CC'ing Bug#9488
as I think it fixes the rest of that bug too.
