Ok, I see. But what seems to have happened now is that changes in
these calls that are implemented in MSVCRT are not mirrored in the
Emacs reimplementation. (And we are aware that it is a bit serious.)

Do you say that it would slow down the Emacs implementation to get
this information with new calls (beside those potentially going
through MSVCRT)? Then I agree.
