Yes.  This is almost unbelievable.  The problem is almost certainly trivial
to fix, but has been there for almost ten years.

Besides the points you have already made, I would like to mention that Linux
(and Mac OS X) ships with a decent set of development tools right ot of the
box.  With Windows, it seems that almost nothing is included.

It isn't.  Mac OS X is for the rest of us.  :-)
