Well, after all: this hack makes the daemon behave more nicely than the other 
port to XP that uses a "proper" API. Whatever Microsoft calls a proper API 
(IAAP).

Getting the XP port to behave well irrespective of the interface's state is 
the way to go, IMO. Although preferably without using such a hack.
