Odd that it works differently in Win98 and XP. (But then, the Windows
graphics engine implementation is completely different (16-bit) in
Win9x and in NT-based Windows, so maybe not so odd after all.)

Anyway, there is a patch in the queue waiting to be tested out and
applied that I think is supposed to handle this problem.
