no, it's not an old bug, it's related to getEnv("COMSPEC") using
dynamic pointers (since pre3) and the resulting filename now leaking
into memory.
Before, getEnv used 3 static pointers, which caused memory
fragmentation but did not leak. The leak was more visible in the debug
build which is how I found it.
