Good find!  Thanks for doing the research and writing the patches.

Rob Arnold, you posted an intelligent answer to Fredrik question
on this thread before.  I'd appreciate your comment on using the
CREATE_NO_WINDOW.  (Feel free to comment here or in the
bug report.)  In particular, if "the console handle for the application
is not set", could that be problematic?  I am not familair with this
area.
