Thank you. It was really a fast change! Yup, I can confirm
that it is working now under WinXP.

This seems to be introduced through a debugger itself.
While debugging, the environment variables are sometimes
accessed ok and sometimes no. Out of the IDE and apparently
in the IDE, but w/o debugging, it works every time. Maybe it
has to do with the debugger I have installed - I used the
link http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/gdb-6.0-20031011.exe
since I could not find any link to a newer Win32-ready gdb
exe. Any suggestions, perhaps?

Oh, yes, unfortunately I am quite sure!
