Hi zero

Zero, thanks for the suggestion. I initially thought that the problem
might have been with the LDP folder itself, but a closer examination of
the debug trace showed that what was happening was that the program was
exiting a directory 'early' - and yes, the directory that it was exiting
was the target of a 'soft-link' - a directory images was in fact a soft
link to '../images', so the 'cd ..' at the end of catalog-add-dir was
exiting back to the wrong folder.


I fixed this by saving the current directory on entry and doing an
explicit cd back to it at the end, instead of the cd ..

You say the problem is fixed. Should I bother with generating a patch
file?

regards, Andy
