Comment(by darkrain42):

 Okay, well. Thanks Fizzter, ahuman, and dtfinch. Apparently calling
 WSALookupServiceEnd wasn't enough on Vista.

 I've attached a third patch and compiled libpurple.dll (you'll need to
 rename it to lose the .2. that trac put in) that work for me on my Vista
 x86 VM and XP SP2 VM/dualboot install.

 This version seems to work okay.
  * The thread might get leaked if one uninits and reinits libpurple since
 I'm not entirely sure WSALookupServiceEnd will do anything to the event
 object.
  * Given the new method of waiting for notification, I'm not sure the
 purple_network_uninit() code is necessary. But I'm also not sure that it's
 not.
