It doesn't crash for me.

The comments in your batch file say "it is on purpose that there is no
'/' between 'c:' and 'Invalid'", but actually there is a slash there.
Anyway, I tried both ways, and it didn't crash for me.

I don't understand why you use forward slashes in the "start" command;
did you invoke this batch file from MSYS Bash or something?
