Hi Ian,
This is a bug in the pathing routines for relative paths. Most likely is fixed
in more recent snapshots. The bug affected most of the routines but not ls for
some reason.
*NOTE* to all: be sure to read the Changelog before attempting any installation
of a snapshot or upgrade. Be sure to backup before installing the snapshot or
upgrade.
