I don't think it makes any difference if the 'else' is there
or not. If I don't pass it onto the base class handler, the
message is swallowed and if I do pass it on, nothing will
happen because the base class handler has no concept of the
message.

By adding a static counter to the monitoring thread, I was
able to confirm that a single change to the directory was
correctly detected but when the thread called the
FindNextChangeNotification, that same change was detected
again as a new change.

I fixed it by reworking the logic so that I don't use FindNext
any more. Instead I FindClose and then FindFirst again. Not as
efficient I know but it does get the job done.
