New submission from Alexey Izbyshev <izbys...@ispras.ru>: win32_wchdir() retries GetCurrentDirectory() with a larger buffer if necessary, but doesn't check whether the new buffer is large enough. Another thread could change the current directory in meanwhile, so the buffer could turn out to be still not large enough, left in an uninitialized state and passed to SetEnvironmentVariable() afterwards.
