I'm using the changes for a few days now. They are tested. Requiring the paths to end in a separator is fragile. Note that the changes I made are not unrelated, they are simply the functions that use the functions that cause the problem. > Given this, commiting my (and Simons) changes seemed like the safest > course af action. It sure is the shortest change. However I claim my version is more robust against future changes. Using concat to construct paths is wrong. Maybe because this is 5.8.x using the minimal change is good, but I propose doing my change in any new development branch at least. Jan
