OS2 or Netware folks around?

We should verify this is or is not a problem on these platforms, but I have
no way to verify.  They both should have profited from my earlier efforts
since both platforms include ../win32/filepath.c - but only running ./testall
on those two platforms will confirm for certain.

I'll go checkout the latest APR code now and check on OS/2

Since I want 0.9 releases to be long-lived (hopefully!) lets get that in,
can you possibly get to it before Monday?

Good to hear.  Is that fix also needed in 0.9?  I plan to roll both 0.9
and 1.2 for all these fixes shortly.

The test that you are referring to works fine on NetWare.  But I had fix another test that wasn't handling the NetWare variable length volume names.

testnames succeeds on OS/2 with the current apr trunk for me.
