trailing slashes problem

[hohmuth@inf.tu-dresden.de (Michael Hohmuth)]

I could use some help...

Below are Andreas Schwab's trailing slashes patches.  It took me a few
hours to track down that it was them which caused my machine to crash
when launching the ROM GEM.

>From the debug output it looks like the crash occurs inside AMC-GDOS
while looking for assign.sys (or something like that) when AES opens
its graphics workstation.  The last thing before the bus error was a
relpathtocookie("\\") (<- this means two backslashes) or
relpathtocookie("") -- I don't remember exactly.  I can't try without
AMC-GDOS as I need it to drive my graphics card.

As these patches are intended to make MiNT more TOS compatible, and
because I can boot into GEM fine under TOS, I guess there must be
something wrong with them, though I can't see what.

Any ideas?

Michael
