socket.MSG_WAITALL flag broken on Windows XP in Python 2.5.4?

I noticed the flag socket.MSG_WAITALL seems to have crept its way into
Python 2.5 on Windows (it's in 2.5.4, but not in 2.5.1, not sure about
intermediate releases). I do not think Windows supports it. It seems
to cause some problems in some libraries (like Pyro) that use it if
it's available in the socket module.

Does anyone know more about this?

Thanks,
Wes
