What isn't the case ? Both fixups ? Or only one of these ?
Well, to be exact, no application.
I just found this out by accident.

IMHO the probability that some applications exist that are too lazy
to supply their own old_prot variable and that check the return value instead
is rather high, so I think that patch is necessary.
Maybe we should add a winver check, though.
