I'm having another problem with 'mkdir -p' in 5.90-2.
I have a script that attempts to do "mkdir -p c:/dir1/dir2/dir3". This
started failing with a permission denied error for c:/.
I eventually discovered that it also fails using unix paths if the
absolute path provided to mkdir starts at the root of a Windows drive.
Here's a little example:
% mkdir /tmp/foo
% mount e:\\ /tmp/foo
% mkdir -p /tmp/foo/bar
mkdir: cannot create directory `/tmp/foo': Permission denied
% mkdir /tmp/foo/bar
(e: is a real drive on my system.)
I have my cygdrive prefix set to '/'. Commands like "mkdir -p /c/foo"
also failed even though "mkdir /c/foo" succeeded.
This is with a home-built CVS DLL corresponding to the 20051003 snapshot.
