Is this cygwin only, or do people see this on native mswindows too?
I haven't seen any reports from native users. I used to get it a lot more
commonly than I do now, so I don't know what has changed. I wonder if it
has anything to do with the process code given that David gets it when
using gnus. If it is then its probably cygwin only.
Jonathan you know the event code better than me - to me the assertion seems
a little OTT, could we maybe make the failure slightly less brittle and
discard events that we don't think should be there?
