Nant task sysinfo verbose - fails

Question

Nant.core.dll : 0.86.2898.0

I can not get the following tag working on my machine.

  <sysinfo verbose="true" />
  <sysinfo />

It gives me the following error. If I comment out those two lines I'm able to build. I google'd but not much help. Any idea?

Check the Environment variables on your PC, as the command loads these into working memory for use with your scripts. Maybe you have an environment variable in there that's badly defined, etc, that is confusing NAnt?

Also, do you know that you're running that command twice? and
