On Windows 2000, I tried giving the directory a "standard" name to make sure
that the problem isn't caused by the "+" in the path. The test.cpp program I
used was the same on both platforms (a small "hello world" program), I typed
the commands from the built-in DOS prompt on both computers, and I've had
problems every time I've used strip on Windows 2000 but never on Windows 98.

Here are the Windows 2000 results:

C:\cpp>gpp -o test.exe test.cpp

C:\cpp>strip -v test.exe
copy from test.exe(coff-go32-exe) to staaaaaa(coff-go32-exe)
c:/opt/djgpp/bin/strip.exe: test.exe: rename: Invalid argument (EINVAL)

C:\cpp>strip --version
