Yeah. Dave has verified taht it's actually because of the XP stuff (he can
repro the failure on XP), so I guess we don't have much choice.

I've applied it, except for builddoc.bat. Since we didn't send out an
exitcode anyway there, it makes no difference. Left them in install.bat
because there's an actual exitcode there.

Specifically, I propose the following patch, which should fix the issues
buildfarm apparently has with the XP command shell (or some incarnations
of it).

Strictly speaking, we don't need the changes in builddoc.bat and
install.bat, but I did them for the sake of completeness. Since it
should not affect anyone not setting XP_EXIT_FIX it seems fairly low risk.



Yeah.
I still would like to have it confirmed that this is actually an XP
fault, and not something else in your environment. To that end, I've
bugged Dave to run some builds on his XP VM (since it apparently works
fine on my XP x64 machine).

  


Ok. FWIW, this box is extremely clean and up to date. And I had the 
identical issue on my previous XP/x386 box. It would be very strange if 
somehow two environments got polluted like this.


cheers
