Comment:

 A fix is available here:

 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/brade/tor-
 browser.git/commitdiff/a9ccc52a47abcb55a1b39ca7aeb066dfcc861549

 It has been tested on an old WinXP system where I reproduced the original
 problem.
 Please review.  If this fix looks good to others, we should pick it up for
 the next 4.0.x release as well as 4.5-alpha (when we can).
