I use PRJ_ROOT: as a search list of LCL_ROOT:, VMS_ROOT:, SRC_ROOT: for 
just about all building projects.

It is likely that some script is specifying PRJ_ROOT: instead of SYS$DISK:

CNAMES should be "/names=(as_is,short)".

I will try to get a fix checked in for the next Gawk release for those 
two issues.
