I am willing to bet you that I can fix this error, without touching the RC, or GTK with any type of hex editor, or modifying it in any other way.

The whole point of an operating system upgrade is that things change. Try running software written for Windows 95 on your old Windows 7 installation and then get back to me. A lot of the stuff is forwards compatible to a degree, but no popular OS claims to maintain total compatibility moving forwards.

Windows, OS X, and most flavors of Linux all change. Windows is honestly the most conservative when it comes to making changes, too. They literally hack program-specific fixes into the OS code (or at least they used to) to keep outdated or poorly-written software from breaking on upgrade. Software on OS X tends to break every few years.

Stefan needs to update RC, it's naive and impractical to expect Microsoft to keep it working forever on an OS that is different than the one it was written for.
