OK, so we know
(a) it's not a cygwin thing
(b) its not a visual C thing, because we're both on the same version
(c) it works on a Windows7 box, but not a WindowsServer2008 box.

So it's probably a bug that was fixed sometime in the WindowsVista or 
Windows7 timeframe.

We could probably implement a configure check that looks like
  if $OS == WINDOWS && $OS_VERSION < Vista && length($ROOT_PATH)>XXX
     complain_loudly_and_exit()

where we know XXX is less than 36 and more than 2, because 
"C:/cygwin/home/tinderbox/libreoffice" causes it to break and "W:" does not.

Would you be able to figure out what the point is where it starts to break?
