Just to be clear: the hangs we've been trying to eliminate happens on 
Windows 7 as well. (In fact, I've been chasing it *only* on Windows 7). 
So it does not appear to be related to Windows version.

Apart from that, I don't have any opinion. I think the builds should 
work just as well on Windows 2003 as Windows 7. Maybe Windows 7 has 
other improvements? (Come on, Microsoft must have been doing *something* 
in all those years! :-))
