R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment:
The unix model should be followed (requiring an explicit reference to the
current directory if it is not already in PATH), rather than the insecure
Windows behavior, and this is indeed the current situation. The current
behavior is documented ("a full or relative path"), but a footnote that this
differs from the msvcrt behavior would probably be a useful addition. So I'm
changing this to a doc bug. (I have verified that ./ works, I have not
verified the msvcrt behavior.)
