: IMHO, such ``solutions'' are not a good idea: they tend to sweep

: solution would mean that the reason for such a problem is well
: understood and acted upon.  For example, if this is a bug in FreeDOS,
: a proper description should be added to the DJGPP FAQ list and the
: library docs, so that others won't need to fight those same problems;
: if it's a bug in the DJGPP library, it should be corrected; etc.

It seems the FreeDOZE kernel 2017f has some issues with findfirst, see
<http://www.freedos.org/fd-doc/howto/faq.html>, section 3.5.
