FWIW, I'm going to look into what's going on inside the Windows
version of adb.exe in some detail, in order to investigate this issue
and for a separate NDK related matter (I want to replace ndk-gdb with
a Python script so that Cygwin isn't a requirement for running it -
'it' being ndk-gdb, not the NDK itself, obviously).
Cheers,
Ray.
