| Description: |
OS: Windows XP SP3 Performing "cd .." from a link confuses Tcl. To recreate: 1. Create directory test1 and subdirectory test1/test2 and then create a link in test2 to test1. 2. cd test1/test2/<link> 3. cd .. 4. pwd and glob reports as if in parent of test1, but "file exists" finds file in test2 and cd acts as if in test2. See attached Tcl script. | |||

I could not find 961646, but I did find 849514, and this certainly seems to be similar to 849514. I don't have 8.4 on my system. dgp added on 2011-09-12 01:10:33: If you could also report whether any release of Tcl since 8.4.0 met your expectations on the same platform, that would be useful info. dgp added on 2011-09-12 01:09:38: Please review ticket 961646 and comment whether this is a new issue distinct from that, or a duplicate report of the same issue. Thanks. guardus added on 2011-09-11 00:17:59: Same issue in ActiveTcl 8.5.10.1. guardus added on 2011-02-16 08:03:24: File Added - 401787: error.tcl | |||
