In msys2-runtime 3.4.10, an external command no longer recognizes files in the current directory.

I have installed texlive outside of msys2 and use it on msys2. After updating msys2-runtime, texlive commands do not recognize files in the current directory and I get the following error.

$ pdflatex output.tex
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.25 (TeX Live 2023) (preloaded format=pdflatex)
restricted \write18 enabled.

! I can't find file `output.tex'.

Could you provide a small program (C source preferred) to reproduce the problem? pdflatex is a bit large, and I also don't know what output.tex you used.

If this is not strict about msys2-runtime, please go to https://packages.msys2.org/base/mingw-w64-texlive-bin and click "Report Issue" in the top right.

I have installed texlive in C:\texlive. I am not using texlive in msys2.

I cannot give an example of a small program, but the typeset commands such as texlive's latex, pdflatex, etc. do not seem to recognize files in the current directory.

The output.tex file, for example, could be as simple as the following.

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
hello!
\end{document}

Previously, these commands could be used by installing msys2-runtime-3.3. Now, if I install msysy2-rutime-3.3, the terminal crashes.

Sorry for not providing enough information. Thank you.

#200. The broken version should be reverted now.

After downloading the file from the URL below and downgrading msys2-runtime, the texlive commands now work.
