Similar, but slightly different approach. Mine also checked for Win9x
host, so we don't incur the performance penalty on other OSs.

I also don't understand a few things done in this patch (who supplied this
patch by the way?), such as cur_pos < 0x10000000, etc.

I know I have my old stuff on CDs, so I'll see if I can dig it out.
