No nned to apply the patch as you have found the problem. It looks like
c:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/convert.exe is an NTFS partitioning program on XP only.

Unfortunately Emacs won't know where your convert program in ImageMagick
resides but you can get round it without changing PATH by customising
thumbs-conversion-program (and image-dired-cmd-create-thumbnail-program) to be
the absolute filename.
