Hi Jost,
I am completely unable to reproduce this...
on a windows machine!

Futhermore this behavior would break lots of code
including the compiler itself...
Maybe there is some special configuration you are working on that 
explains this strange behavior...

  Which Windows OS version do you use?
Is it a Virtual machine?
What shell are you using?
