It is very inconsistent, and I can't seem to recreate it now. After it
happens once, it will continue to happen consistantly until I hangup my
modem. Right now, I can't get it to do anything.

I didn't set PATH_SEPARATOR to anything. And trying to access "//foo/bar"
does nothing, but trying "\\foo\bar" causes the signals to be sent
(consistantly). Ok, I guess that was it. Thanx.
