I'll check next days, need to find an MS Windows machine first.

Thanks Michael.

I have observed something weird during the file-notify tests.

I traced file-notify-test02-events.

The read_event function doesn't time out in 0.1s as it is supposed to.

It waits for the time specified  by (file-notify--test-timeout) before

returning the right value. (Well actually, the value returned by the third test

in file-notify-test02-events is wrong but it is another story).

So I'm afraid some logic is wrong, and possibly not only in file-notify

but also in the way w32 should handle those timeouts.
