The difference here is not the path, but the binary used apperantly.

I can reproduce the problem using ioquake3.x86.exe instead of
ioq3ded.x86.exe.  I tried building ioquake3.x86.exe without the
-mwindows flag, but it has no effect.  This has to do with
SDL's main(), but I'm not sure what the proper fix is.
