Wasn't there some problem with the Windows shell mentioned on this
list a couple times now where it just blows up if it gets too much
data? Would printing 18,000 paths qualify as too much data? If this
was the problem, then I believe the only solution was to get
Microsoft to fix the Windows shell or to print less data to it (i.e.
delete fewer files at a time?).... Or to get an OS with a better
shell....
