<p>Is it because of that silly Windows bug where you can't <code>cd</code> into a folder on another drive, but first have to put the drive letter by itself to switch to that drive and then <code>cd</code> into the folder?</p>

<p>Like:</p>

<pre><code>C:\Whatever> cd Z:\foo
<doesn't work>
C:\Whatever> Z:
Z:\> cd foo
<works>
</code></pre>

<p>IIRC there was some code added for Windows to override the normal/shortcut-chosen working directory, maybe it needs to do something fancier?</p>
