Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

From what I know is this a Windows limitation, not a PHP one.

Yes, it is a windows limitation, but there must be workaroud or at least official note on this behavior in PHP manual.

Its actually cmd.exe shell limitation. You can install 
other shells like bash.exe which have no such 
limitations :)
