Add the following comment to the documentation for GetDOSEnvironment() on page 366 of the Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) "Programmer's Reference, Volume 2: Functions" manual: 

   If the TEMP MS-DOS environment variable points to an invalid
   directory, the GetDOSEnvironment function removes the TEMP
   environment variable from the returned environment string and
   replaces its contents with "x" characters.
