[Magick-bugs] ImageMagick messes up PATH

Problem is in PathTool.exe. When it adds ImageMagick to Path it also
adds null character ('\x00') to the end of the Path string. Because of
that next attempt to add something to Path will silently fail. To prove
that I have attached PrintScreen image. In step [11] I read content of
Path on a computer with fresh installation of Win XP SP3. In step [12] I
print value of sData without formating (function repr()). After that I
run PathTool.exe with following parameters: -a:"whatever". Steps [13]
and [14] are same like [11] and [12], respectably. I will also report
this to the creator of PathTool.
Kind regards,
Zlatko Lovcevic
