I tried various versions and couldn't reproduce the error. I tried:
- a local HEAD build from around 2/8
- 6.4.1.20050806
- 6.5.20050806
- 6.5.20050729
none of these fail for me. Perhaps there's something odd about the
contents of c:\ on your machine that triggers the failure? Does it fail
for any other directories?
Cheers,
Simon
