It seems that _rename( ) function from libc has some problems after using gdb. And one thing I forgotten to tell you.
Windows ME uses DOS 8.0, rather than DOS 7.1 that Win95b and Win98 uses. Not just stubify.exe is effected but ar.exe which
uses _rename () is effected too.

This is what I found out. I think the _rename( ) function has no problem renaming from filename X to Y if Y doesn't exist.
If Y exist, then _rename() will fail. Below is the output of the test I did. The words in the brackets are my own comments.
Hope it is useful.

(test.exe doesn't exist at this point)
D:\>stubify test.000

(a test.exe was created from test.000)
D:\>stubify test.000
rename of test.001 to test.exe failed.
The error was: Invalid argument (EINVAL)
(renaming failure and test.exe from test.000 was deleted)

D:\>stubify test.000
(renaming success)

D:\>stubify test.000
rename of test.002 to test.exe failed.
The error was: Invalid argument (EINVAL)
(renaming failure and previous test.exe was deleted)


D:\>stubify test.000
(renaming success)

D:\>stubify test.000
rename of test.003 to test.exe failed.
The error was: Invalid argument (EINVAL)
(renaming failure and previous test.exe was deleted)

(and it goes on and on)
