in thread Win32::API Memory Exception with GetCommandLine() (which returns a static string)

I understand the purpose of bat-wrapping (sounds like something they'd do on the Lower East Side :), but for the purposes of demonstration it seemed excessive. Of course, I now know that the problem only occured when the script, presumably reduced from the original be the problem manifest itself, is so bat-wrapped.

For the pack, I'd never notice that example before. Maybe it was necessary in early versions, and the example just never got updated.

Anyway, asked and answered. Thanks.
