 If your system uses the lock file protocol, and fascist restrictions
 prevent ordinary users from writing the lock files in /usr/spool/mail,
 you may need to make `movemail' setgid to a suitable group such as
-`mail'.  You can use these commands (as root):
-
-        chgrp mail movemail
-        chmod 2755 movemail

-  #else /* debugging enabled */
+Microsoft no longer ships the single threaded version of the C library
+with their compiler, and the multithreaded static library is missing
+some functions that Microsoft have deemed non-threadsafe.  The
+dynamically linked C library has all the functions, but there is a
+conflict between the versions of malloc in the DLL and in Emacs, which
+is not resolvable due to the way Windows does dynamic linking.
 
+We recommend the use of the MingW port of GCC for compiling Emacs, as
+not only does it not suffer these problems, but it is also Free
+software like Emacs.
