Many programs access the user's home directory as %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%. Without removing the drive letter from %HOMEPATH%, the result of this concatenation is something like "C:C:\Users\mgkuhn" and results in applications not finding the home directory. After this change, OpenSSH will set %HOMEPATH% without a drive letter, like Windows does, as documented at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/101507/how-windows-nt-determines-a-user-s-home-directory I also added a safety check to test that pw_dir_w is not empty.
