I think this is highly likely to be the problem.  Yesterday I tried putting 
long strings into Windows registry, and got to over 70k characters before I 
got bored. I concluded that it wasn't a problem with the length of strings 
in the registry and therefore less likely to be a "feature" of windows PATH. 
I assume that what happens is the path gets close to the NSIS string size 
limit, is read, appended to, and thus truncated, and is then written back to 
the registry.

If someone with GUB capability can create a test patch, I'd be happy to try 
it out (tho' not tomorrow - working).
