That only stripped slashes, not yet CRs.

I get the whole variables/SHELL suite failing. Does it do so also on NT
and properly installed MinGW? If it does, I would consider delaying the
release a few days for properly fixing it. If not, I would just mention
that win95/98 is not fully supported in 3.81 (if I were Paul, that is.)
