Comment:

 Hi,

 thanks for the report. Unfortunately the I/O system for Windows is a bit
 lacking at the moment. There is some progress in rewriting it with a
 proper one but I don't know the current progress. See #7353 .

 There may however be a workaround for this specific case. That will have
 to be investigated.
