RE: Windows breakage -- again

Thank you all for pursuing this. I gather that you know what is going on, so no further info needed from me. Yell if it is otherwise. Meanwhile, is the fix imminent, or should we revert Johan’s patch? Simon From: Niklas Larsson [mailto:metanik...@gmail.com] Sent: 16 July 2014 19:58 To: Johan
