I tested the command-line you wrote.
I got the same results as you.
I think thatīs another Bug.

Weird: this code wasn't changed, it's actually the runtime library behaviour that changed and causes this. Recompiling the 4.53 code produces the same issue.

Anyway, I'll fix this and try to get out a mini-update asap.

I tested.

It seems that this bug is fixed in 4.61b1.

Does anyone can confirm my test result?

I tested on WinXP pro SP3.
Like Ruud said above it looks like that this is related to something that MS changed in the OS. So Win2K might be fine when WinXP is not writing the stuff as it should.

I do not have Win2K here so I can’t test. Can you try it on XP SP3?

lol.

really makes one wonder, why the behavior was changed in the runtime.

I bet, it's all about some kid doing a security update for something highly unlikely situation and in the mean time breaking half of the system.

xp sp3 has so many things that no longer work properly, thanks to updates.

And has hundreds of things that did not work that now do work. Take your poison I guess. In our environment I don't know of anything that is not working and is a direct result of SP3 (your mileage may vary but lucky for us we don't have any issues with it).
