$c00000ba == STATUS_FILE_IS_A_DIRECTORY.

  Um.  Have you possibly got a directory called "something.dll" getting in the
way?  Otherwise you may have to use NtFilemon (from www.sysinternals.com) to
try and see what file it thinks its trying to open when it gets that error.

  That's simply not true.  You can open as many console windows simultaneously
as you like, and "make menuconfig" works just fine.  Look, I'll try it right
now: see?  It worked![*]
