How should we best deal with reports of probable erroneous MSDN content 
such as: https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw/bugs/2248/ ?

Here, the poster provides an acceptable test case, which demonstrates 
that the MSDN information is most likely incorrect, but can refer us 
only to known sources of plagiarised Microsoft header file content, to 
support his proposed correction.  Obviously, we cannot examine those 
plagiarised sources, but should we just take his word for it, and 
correct our headers, as he suggests?

Opinions?
