Description
I ran into a problem with the p7zip command 7za w:\temp\M.7z M:\ (mentioned in https://www.os2world.com/forum/index.php?topic=1941.0) attempting to archive an entire volume and reported it to Ruediger Ihle and he responed:
I did some more testing and it turns out the klibc is the culprit! The problem is, that when the functions opendir()/readdir() are asked to retrieve the content of a root directory (i.e. "X:/*"), they erroneously return the content of the *current* directory on that drive.
Note: I gave this a low priority because I've been able to bypass my problems with zip, and it runs faster than p7zip. However, I can't guaranty that it's not important to other customers running into the same problem in a different application.
