I am using the CVS version (of emacs). Maybe not the most recent
version though. Will try and update sometime soon. 

Still, once I'd trade the error it was fairly clear from the code that
it was going to be windows specific. 

Personally, I always document where I have tested code, and where I
know it to be working. Perhaps no one ever reads the
documentation. Am I weird this way?
