Using a hex editor I see this too. If you hex edit a file compiled with
gnuwin32 it shows files from other dir in it. This has happened on both
NT/Win95. It goes so far as getting a copy of my users an .pwd files. I
see it as a security risk an advise not compiling any file with gnuwin32
that has sensitive matter on your hd...
