There seem to be issues with the URI parser on Windows. All the unit
tests passed when I patched it (there's an unexplained +1 at the start
of the Win32 logic) but obviously there is still a problem. For the
record, it is running on my machine.

I'll attempt to run the test suites on another machine; maybe there
something anomalous with regard to my build machine. In the meantime,
the following information would be useful:

1) The version of Windows you are running.
2) Which binaries you are using - there are now several versions.
3) Can you try using a relative path? Or an absolute path that doesn't
specify the drive?

That should be enough information for me to diagnose the problem. In the
meantime I'll go off and install across a few machines to see if I can
reproduce it on my own.
