Me too.  Apparently this is some bug deep in the bowels of Windows that
triggers when neither SystemDrive nor ProgramData are defined in the
environment and a new console session gets created.  It seems I can work
around getting the extra directories created by defining SystemDrive in
a certain nonsensical way, but it really is an ugly hack; I'll have to
see if there's a better fix.

Achim.
