Seems to be a Windows bug (no, really!).. When I set my machine to 
CP1250 the thread startup broke - MSDN states:

"When a thread is created, it uses the system default thread locale"

This is patently untrue in CP1250.. I don't know what locale it's using 
(I suspect CP1252) but it completely broke all the internal translation 
to Unicode.

A quick hack is to force the thread locale back to the system locale on 
startup, which seems to work for me.  I'll do a version with the fix in 
tonight & send it to you, and if it works push it out as RC4.
