I hope so. The problem was that the "special folders" like the Windows system directory were still read using the ANSI version of the Win32 function. This affected all of the options -D, -H, -O, -P, -S, -W. The patch fixes that by using the Unicode variation of the function and then converting the path to the appropriate multibyte representation.
