For example a CreateRectRgnIndirect function works differently with
the same set of input rectangles in NT4 and in 2000. But nowhere in
the MSDN docs written that input rectangles must be specifically
ordered.
So in service pack MS may change some internal things which as the
result will change a docummented function's behaviour.
