The stupid "bad address" message seems to occur when you do not have a
temporary ("C:\tmp") directory.


So, either
1) create the directory c:\tmp
2) check if you have TMP_DIR specified in your environment variables.
If, so, check if this directory exists.
3) check if your drive/directory is not mounted to another one
(mount-commando)


These actions probably will solve the "bad address" problem.
In either case, "bad address" is a stupid error message, not telling you
what is really going wrong.
(Searching in www.Google.com" on "bad address" will give you more info.)
