I spoke too soon. More test cases

dmd.exe HelloWord.exe  obj\Release\hello.obj obj\Release\b.obj
occationaly fails if the root directory is deep.

dmd.exe c:\dmd\Test.exe  obj\Release\hello.obj obj\Release\b.obj   dfl.lib 
Fails even if the root directory shallow. dfl.lib is located in
C:\dmd\windows\lib.

dmd.exe c:\dmd\HelloWord.exe  
fails if the root directory is long and many obj/lib files are included
