Hello,

I'm using Git for Windows (1.6.3.2.1299.gee46c) and *used to use* SCons as a build tool. Since my last Git-update (from 1.6.1.9.g97c34 to 1.6.3.2.1299.gee46c) SCons doesn't work an longer. I'm not exactly sure that the Git upgrade made things worse, but I didn't upgrade neither SCons (0.98) nor Python (ActivePython 2.4) and now they cease to work.

When running in git-bash, SCons tells me "TypeError: listdir() argument 1 must be (buffer overflow), not str:" and some stack trace.

When running in native Windows' cmd.exe it works fine.

Is it somehow possible that the Git upgrade broke python scripts? By setting certain ENV vars or something? I don't want to blame someone for this, really, I'm just trying to track down my problem.
