@Stephan Beal: Thanks man. And I'll admit I might have been a tick too sensible about it. :-)
I'm very well aware that Windows is a bloated piece of ... code full of deficiencies. But if something used to work well up to a certain version (I'm using fossil since years, could have been 0.something if memory serves), it does come accross... eccentric... to blame the OS (whichever it is) all of a sudden. Anyway, I did not want to go in too deep about the whole matter. I thought you guys would want feedback on issues because it is a chance to improve things (and make them work even on the crappiest of platforms ;-)). It wasn't my intention to judge or blame anyone or anything.
