I just updated to Racket 6.10 on Windows 10 and noticed a bug that causes a 
crash (access violation).  This happens when there is a symbolic link in a 
`make-directory*` call.  To reproduce it:

* OS is Windows 10 64 bit, Racket version is 6.10, 64 bit
* open a command window and 
    * create a directory "mkdir c:/some_dir"
    * create a link to that directory "mklink /d c:/some_dir_link c:/some_dir"
* In DrRacket, run the following:
    (make-directory* "c:/some_dir_link/subdir")

The result is that DrRacket will crash.  Same happens with racket.exe and any 
application built with racket that uses `make-directory*` with a path that 
contains a link.

The make-directory* call works fine in Racket 6.9 on the same platform.

Best Regards,
Alex.
