I suspect it is an interaction between #ifdef WINDOWS == true and the 
cygwinTempPath() hack patched into that version.  The mainline SQLite 
code doesn't realize we've played a bit of sleight of hand with it, so 
it fails when it wants to add a second level to its temporary storage 
hierarchy.

If true, that's yet another reason to switch to 3.7.17: I removed the 
hack since we're building as SQLITE_OS_UNIX.
