   I have no idea how it could be under "normal" conditions.

 The only explanation I can image you mixed DLL from the different version of ROOT

  I think you should worry since I have not found any  circumstance but mixed DLL's to cause
  that.
 
  There were change in the DLL organization and this might lead to some mess too.
  Anyway I need some further information.
  Can you tell me how do you launch ROOT (from Explorer "by clicking" or from 
  the "Command Prompt" by typing ? Send me the dump of your environment variables too.
  (just type from the "Command prompt" 

    set >env.txt

  and mail me (fine@bnl.gov)  "env.txt" file.
  I let you know I have better idea about your troubles (but first check your DLL's)   

   (At least I can not reproduce you problem with my local version of ROOT 2.23/11)

  WinNTSystem class is an implementation of TSystem class documented on Web.
  Alas it is too complicate for CINT to parse the source code with Microsoft include files inside.
  (like WinNTSystem class and other Win32 classes).  CINT tries to parse those include files too
  and can not manage the Microsoft C++ extensions. I do not think we may blame CINT for that.
