Hello,

my djgpp programs stop working below one directory, and I'm not sure
why.

An example program is 'ls.exe'. If I run cmd.exe, and go into my 'dev'
directory, it stops working. Here is a shell grab:
------------------------
D:\>ls
MsSdkTmp                 dev                        nobackup

D:\>cd dev
D:\dev>ls
ccc      docs  maya  tmp

D:\dev>cd ccc
D:\dev\ccc>ls
d:/djgpp/bin/ls: .: No such file or directory (ENOENT)
------------------------

So in the 'ccc' directory 'ls' stops working. The same thing happens
for 'tmp','maya','doc', and any other directory under 'dev' (even new
ones that I create). I thought this might be a depth of tree problem,
or something, so I did the following:

------------------------
D:\>mkdir temp
D:\>cd temp
D:\temp>mkdir temp
D:\temp>ls
temp
D:\temp>cd temp
D:\temp\temp>mkdir temp
D:\temp\temp>ls
temp
D:\temp\temp>cd temp
D:\temp\temp\temp>ls
------------------------

In fact, the 'dev' directory is the only directory I can find that has
this problem. Does anyone have any idea why no djgpp programs don't
work under a specific directory?

Thanks,
Aaron
