Paired devices are always returned by bluetooth.discover_devices() even if not in range. (msbt stack only)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use any bluetooth device that works with msbt stack
2. Pair it with another device (phone, etc) with the OS wizards. Once
paired it will appear in the Devices tab in the bluetooth settings window.
3. Turn off bluetooth on the other device (phone, etc)
4. Execute bluetooth.discover_devices()

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expecting to see *only* the list of devices in range. Instead, the list
also contains all paired devices no matter if they are in range or not.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
PyBluez-0.18.win32-py2.6 with python 2.6.4 tested both on Windows XP/SP3
and Windows 7

Please provide any additional information below.
Also tried flush_cache=True/False - makes no difference. If I use the
widcomm stack then only devices in range are returned (as epxected!)

Well, I can confirm this "misbehaviour" with a similar enviroment of 
Windows XP + SP2, 
"Python 2.6.4 (r264:75708, Oct 26 2009, 08:23:19) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] 
on 
win32", and 
"PyBluez-0.18.win32-py2.6"
- but did not yet try another bt stack for comparison
