Thanks for the suggestion...

I have rebooted my machine and now the problem has gone away!

Very very odd

Do this after rebooting and after the compilation:

set >a.txt

set >b.txt

Use WinMerge to compare them:

http://winmerge.org

I use FC.EXE rather than Win Merge, but in any event, no differences...

Do you have something configured to delete %TEMP% folder when you restart?
If so, try this in the batch file before compiling:

DEL /q %TEMP%
DEL /q /ah %TEMP%

This will delete normal and hidden files.
