Right -- the second time is when it's actually modifying the files.
But this happens from a temporary copy of mzscheme, which has all of
its required DLLs, so it shouldn't interfere with the modification.

That would be my idea too.

(You can also try something called "Process Explorer" -- it shows more
information about processes etc, so you can see which mzscheme process
is the parent or what that svchost process is actually doing.)
