OSX and Linux handling path names differently

[Elizabeth Walkup <ew...@gs.washington.edu>]

It looks to me like the OSX and Linux ports of Xerces-C
are handling relative file names differently. Here's an
example of what I mean.

I have the following files:
	~/foo/DOMCount
	~/foo/test1.xml
	~/bar/test2.xml
where DOMCount is the sample program given in the
distribution and test1.xml and test2.xml are xml files.

Here are two ways to attempt to invoke DOMCount:

Case 1 (works on Linux, Barfs on OSX)
	cd ~/bar
	../foo/DOMCount test2.xml

Case 2 (works on OSX, Barfs on Linux)
	cd ~/bar
	../foo/DOMCount test1.xml

I would expect the behavior of Case 1 for both Linux and
OSX. I have verified that other programs (e.g. simple
Perl scripts) behave as I expect.

So, my question is, is this a bug or a feature?

Many thanks,

-- Elizabeth
