Since commit 385b18d, the emulator path was not copied anymore before pushing it to the args vector (before it was done within the `push_words` function. Since on Windows `free_env_val` is not a NOP as it is on Unix systems, the string is freed and afterwards used, leading to strange errors like this: escript: Error executing 'àyI': 2 This is fixed by removing the `free_env_val` call.
