Hm, lets see if somebody else will test it, maybe the picture become clearer.

I have tested a bit around with my W2K machine, nut it all looks the same.

The problem is not on high priority, I can prevent the error by other checks (IOW if the error raises there is major trouble anyway).
I'm just curious
