I don't have access to Windows 9X anymore, and there's no such
directory on the Windows system to which I do have access.  So either
you or someone will show a recipe that can be reproduced and debugged
on a more modern system, or you dig into the EINVAL on that system and
tell more details to understand what happens, or we just dismiss this
bug alone with "moreinfo" tag (after all, this is just a warning).
