I'll have a look at the code related to the first bug and see if I can
figure something out to solve this trouble. About the second one, the
complete output follows here [1]. I had to run it under C:\ because I
got the same std::logic_error message on paths.cc:303 when tried to
run under D:\. Do not know if it will have the debug info you need
because of it.

Hope it helps
