hmm.. the "./" search in the code sounds a bit cack handed, and should
probably be fixed. Changing this in MiNT wont affect Magic, or apps
that use SLB..

That said, the easiest work-around also implies a fix (saving on time
coding), and that is to set the SLBPATH as mentioned in mint.cnf to
include ./ (or .\) by default

The current default SLBPATH setting should be updated to reflect most
common setups, so any new kernel releases should have something like
the following in mint.cnf:
setenv SLBPATH ./;/c/mint/slb;/c/gemsys/slb
