The comment says specifically that cur_tid == tid on Windows, not just that
cur_tid < tid fails.  While they're probably equal on your box too, timing
functions on Windows have such radically different pragmatics that I'm not
assuming that.  If they are equal on your box, please add a comment to the
Collector issue saying so (comments on zodb-dev will soon be forgotten).
