Yeah, that's bad. I didn't realize that wasn't implemented for Windows.

Neither did I until today :)

You might want to reconsider silencing the original exception as it would make debugging a tad easier.

It should log the exception there. Are you not seeing it in your logs? I can't let the exception fall through, as that would kill the background thread.

Pardon me, seems my logging configuration was a bit off. Please ignore the part about silencing.

Version 0.9.1 should work on win32. Let me know how you go.

Cheers, Erik
