bug in .. handling

2005-04-09 Thread Eric Blake
Cygwin is taking too much liberty when resolving paths with .. in them. I've tested this with both 1.5.14 and the 20050408 snapshot. POSIX requires that the pathname before the .. exist, and if it is a symlink, that it is resolved, before going to the parent directory. For example: $ cd /tmp/

Hello, I'm hitting "File name too long (91)" errors when using "rsync" or even "ls" within cygwin. I tracked down this problem to the constant "CYG_MAX_PATH", which seems to be defined in "cygtls.h". Would it be a problem to rise this limit? So, is there any objection to a patch like this? ---
