[Interest] Exception during ASCII cast on windows

[Frédéric Martinsons]

Hello again,

there was an object constructed which called an external library which made
poorly "std::string currentPath=getenv("PWD") " ... Of course under cygin,
PWD is defined while it is not under windows termninal.

Sorry for the noise.
