Comment(by asgerpetersen):

 Replying to [comment:9 jef]:
 > Well, it might have helped if the problem was caused by a (overly long)
 corrupted path. It might still be caused by some unexpected (danish?)
 characters in @PATH at .

 Here is my path:

 {{{
 C:\Users\asi>set path
 Path=C:\spatialsuite\app\perl\site\bin;C:\spatialsuite\app\perl\bin;C:\app\Oracl
 e\Ora11g_32Home\bin;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\W
 indows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files
 (x86)\QuickTime\QTSyste
 m\;C:\Program Files\ActivIdentity\ActivClient\;C:\Program Files
 (x86)\ActivIdent
 ity\ActivClient\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett-
 Packard\IAM\bin;C:\App\Script\;C
 :\App\Bin\;C:\App\SysInternals\;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_31\bin
 }}}

 I guess the difference is with findstr.

 It behaves differently on my XP and on my Win7 machines.
 This command

 {{{
 findstr /i /r /c:^"^^\"[a-zA-Z]:[\\/][^\\/]"
 }}}

 crashes findstr on Win7 but it doesnt on XP
