I had not realised you're on Redmond's finest.

I wonder whether using either the Linux "sub-system" supplied with Windows 10,
aiui, or an installation of 'cygwin', would not make all these errors/problems
go away.

one hack-ish workaround could be to separate out the operations, ie in C I might
do something like:

size_t const n = strlen(Get_Token_String(...));
char tmp_compound[4 + n] = {'\0'};

some "lights", more like a 15W bulb.  :-)  good luck.
