Hi, Pavel!

What fixed version do you exactly mean?

You want to incorporate into mc modified version of g_get_current_dir() or
you hope to chaise Owen (to death:) to fix ill-behaved version in glib?

Actually, I don't see any good solution in this situation....

The only thing, I'm sure on, is that current behaviour of mc on symlinks
is BROKEN and that is should be fixed.

Regards,
	Timur Bakeyev.
