Note that we are aware of at least one case where Vista did something
unreasonable with files we had written, which led to a similar
behavior (accounts.xml, in that case). In that instance, the computer
had been shut down un-gracefully (I don't know if it locked up, or the
power cord was kicked out, or what).

*operating system*. :-P
