Well spotted!  It (plus the later patch) does fix the checkDuplicate
test failure on Windows, and I closed issue 1931.

Turns out the Five tests that were failing on Windows also fail on
Linux, but the failing tests don't run unless you pass ``--all`` to
test.py (which I normally do, but I guess most people don't, in which
case "most people" wouldn't see these failures).  I opened a new issue
about that:
