It did appear twice: it just got held up in the moderation queue, as  
I've been away for a few days.

Yes, the win32 spurious-wake-prevention code is faulty. The one-line  
fix I originally suggested is better in that it does actually work, at  
the expense of more spurious wakes.

frustrated that this hasn't come to light until now.
