This is not something that has been introduced by this patch. This
problem already happened before (I just checked). Note that this may
be windows specific.

Volker's patch is an improvement over the current behavior. On windows
setting checkchanged to True would improve things, but then that would
not be necessary on linux. I don't know the best way to handled that.
