Multisite on Windows - media upload infinite loop.

[ensemblebd]

You have a flaw in your code in /wp-includes/functions.php line # 8178.
:: clean_dirsize_cache

The while loop enters into an infinite loop UNLESS the path fed in starts with a slash.
And on windows multisite, the path is prefixed with the full directory meaning it starts with "C:\" , meaning infinite loop.
Which means file uploads never work due to a php timeout.
I had to modify my core wordpress.

So I modified: /wp-admin/includes/file.php line # 981 as such to resolve:
:: _wp_handle_upload

	if ( is_multisite() ) {
		$path = $new_file;
		if (DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR == "\\") { // windows flaw in wordpress..
			$parts = explode("wp-content", $path);
			$path = $parts[1];
		}
		clean_dirsize_cache( $path );
	}

Good day and good coffee.
