OK, I found the real problem - TVision does not recognize 
DOSish backslash '\', only UNIXish slashes '/' as directory 
separators. So when you pass "c:\\", it looks for last 
directory separator - strrchr() function looks for '/' and 
returns NULL... Then (size_t)(end - dir + 1) gives a _huge_
value... 

A very quick workaround - change "c:\\" to "c://" in your code.

Now about the real fix. Salvador, isn't somewhere in TV
function for converting backslashes to slashes? It should
go OK here. (Just I'm afraid that not only here, but in
many other places...)
