When you send things via the "SendMessageA", I would assume they need to 
be ANSI. As such, the "obvious reasons" are that it appears, to my 
understanding of things, that this SHOULD fail.

I'm trying to write a regression test, to see whether it doesn't fail on 
Windows. If anyone has any idea how to create traces on Windows that are 
similar to --debugmsg +relay, please let me know (I remeber that someone 
said something about it in the past).
