That document is the first to be processed, so i suppose
that the same thing would happen if you changed the
"start-uri" in forrest.properties to be say index.html
meaning that it is not only related to the special "linkmap"
document.

Now that we have a captive tester :-)
Or any other Windows developer can answer really.

Please provide the error.log ... If it is too big
then create a Jira Issue.

After doing:
]$ cd main
]$ build test

It is at:
build/test_dispatcher_site/build/webapp/WEB-INF/logs/error.log
