I don't have problems with LD hanging, but I have noticed something strange
when starting LD.

Imagine.
o All my DJGPP/PATH/whatever settings are set to directories on drive-0
	(C:, E:, F:-partitions),
o My drive-1 (D:-partition) sleeps because of the energy-saving option I
	have set,
o The current directory is on drive-0 too, with some *.o files in it,
o I run LD (not directly, but from GCC).

Then, although absolutely NOTHING points to D:-directories, drive-1 wakes up.
Also there is no D: in the 'gcc -v'-output-command-line for LD at all.

Why is my D:(drive-1) waken up so rudimentary(sp?)?
Why does LD access D: when it doesn't have to?

It's not a problem, but I think it's strange...
