CCL1.12, CCL1.11 ccl-tests ccl.bug#1068.a fails on Windows

[gendl]

Hi,

As stated in subject. The failure boils down to a confusion with pathname-directory on windows for the pathname "a*x+b.rtfd" where the Lisp string representation of this in the test is "a\\*x+b.rtfd", and CCL's pathname-directory is apparently seeing that backslash as indicating a directory separator.

I'm not really sure if this is a bug in Windows CCL or a bug in the test.

Anyone more familiar with this and can shed some light?

Thanks,

Dave

The whole scheme of trying to escape certain characters in namestrings is a long-standing source of confusion and annoyance.

Windows doesn't allow #\* chars in file/dir names. We now exclude the test ccl.bug#1068.a on Windows.
