Are you invoking the two programs in the same directory?

Can you show what DIR prints in that directory, and what each one of the 
programs returns?

Please invoke the programs from the command line, not from RHIDE, since 
RHIDE introduces an additional layer of complexity.

Then perhaps the program's code does something you didn't mean to do.

Can you step with a debugger into the _use_lfn function and see where 
exactly it disables LFN?  You will have to take its source from the 
library and recompile it with -g (the easiest way is to paste the source 
of _use_lfn into your program).
