You're right. I noticed as I was getting my Linux installation 
working that this particular example behaves differently 
depending on whether it's compiled on Windows or Linux. I had 
planned to go back and take another look to figure out what those 
differences were, but just haven't gotten to it yet.

I'll get at it as soon as time allows. In the meantime, I hope it 
doesn't distract too much.

Thanks for bringing this back into the forefront for me.
