The problem is still there. I proposed a solution quite a while ago but
it was decided that it was too close to next release of Emacs. In the
mean time I have a patch for this which I and I believe others have been
using since this summer. Go to
http://ourcomments.org/Emacs/EmacsW32.html
to find out more about my patch. You can find binaries there with and
without this patch. Last patched version is from 2005-12-18 (there is
actually one from 12-25 too I believe but I have not had time to move it
to its final location yet).
