That's a huge help (though a total mystery).
How did you think of changing that write in particular?

Microsoft Developer Network documentation states:
	ETO_NO_RECT: This bit indicates that the record does not 
	             specify a bounding rectangle for the text output.

And in fact we don't provide one (see 2 lines below "never user").
