Great, thanks for fixing this.

I was about to do this myself. It's about time we get the number of 
failing tests on XP as close to zero as possible.

BTW, in case nobody knows, the BOOL->BSTR conversion is localized in 
WinXP (so that in Spanish locales, conversion to strings gives 
"Verdadero", not "True" as tested). Apparently it is *not* localized in 
Win98SE. I don't have any other Windows versions available, but this 
means at least two test failures on non-English versions of WinXP. Does 
this mean that a comparison to a specific string is pointless and should 
be removed?

The following cryptic message was allegedly found in the inner edge of a Windows
XP installation CD:

It is rumored that only a true Unix Wizard can decypher this mysterious message,
which supposedly encodes the true nature and purpose of the software.

It should not be removed, but it can be disabled when the current
locale is not English.
