bug in cygwin_conv_to_posix_path() caused by period in win32 path

Mon Jul 2 17:15:00 GMT 2007

Hi,
the legal win32 paths containing period like "c:.\" or "c:." are 
incorrectly converted by
cygwin_conv_to_posix_path() to "c:./" and "c:." respectively. See last 
two output
lines of the attached example program.

 int i;
 char posix_buffer[MAX_PATH];
 char *win32_path[]={ "c:\\",
 "c:",
 "c:\\.\\",
 "c:\\.",
 "c:.\\",
 "c:.",
 NULL
 };
 for(i=0;win32_path[i];i++)
 {
 cygwin_conv_to_posix_path(win32_path[i], posix_buffer);
 printf( "%s\t" "%s\n", win32_path[i], posix_buffer );
 }
 return 0;
}
