Yes!!! That did it. It doesn't work all the time. For some reason it
fails at times, even with the same image being uploaded, but it does at
least work now. I saw that option, but given that the following text was
preceeding it, didn't give it further thought.

; Temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system default
if not
; specified).
upload_tmp_dir = c:\\windows\\temp
