This bug should be marked as duplicate of bug #6875 (3 years ago!), which itself
is marked as duplicate of #9981, which got fixed in october 1999 and should be
reopened.

The buggy symptoms described in bugs #6875 and #9981 and other duplicates are
all still around (at least on 2002051006 Win98/1.0/rc2)
