This is a known bug, it's the reason that using 21.4.4 is deprecated
on Windows. Ben and Adrian are working on it, the trial solutions are
not in 21.4 and will not be until I have time to verify that they
don't break other platforms (my impression is that they do involve
cross-platform code, but I don't even have time to confirm or
disconfirm that right now---I know it's a pretty big change). Or we
get some experience with them in 21.5.
