      The bug is that jre and java compute the System property user.home differently. If "HOME=C:\" is set in win95 and a simple program is run that queries the system property of "user.home" the jre will be different from java.

      jre bases it off of where it is run from and java bases it off of the "HOME=C:\". This is inconsistent and should be changed.
