Actually, there is StraceNT, which actually works on Windows XP (see
http://www.intellectualheaven.com/default.asp?BH=projects&H=strace.htm).

I had already downloaded and unzipped the application some while ago,
but had not used it much yet.  If someone can tell me what to do with
it, I'll be happy to attach it to a DrScheme process on my Japanese
version of Windows XP to help diagnose this bug.
