OK, that explains why these problems cropped up on MS-Windows platforms even 
though I didn't see them on GNU/Linux.

Since defining PICKY_EACCES helped to find a configuration-related bug on 
GNU/Linux (Bug#37445) I would like to try it out on GNUish platforms, so I 
installed the attached. We can easily revert if it causes more problems than it 
cures.
