I suppose this Windows command will not work on other platforms. :)

Can't believe nobody's spotted this until now. I've checked the fix
into CVS, it renames the menu and handles setup of the new session.

In fixing this, I realized that there is a subtle bug in this feature.
The preferences of last Cream session to close will overwrite any
other ones. The new session starts empty and clear, the file history
is empty. Unfortunately if this is the last session to close, it wipes
the "main" session's history. I'm not sure how to fix this without
developing some sort of complex stack system.

Have you set g:CREAM_CWD in your -conf or -user file at some point?
Even if commented it back out, Cream may have remembered the global,
you'll have to :unlet it.
