    initial v1  
    11The reason behind this failure is this change to `cube`: http://trac.netlabs.org/cube/changeset/5. It broke the "magic" hack by Yuri Dario which would replace the drive letter in `c:\config.sys` with the drive letter of `\OS2` in PATH (normally the OS/2 boot drive letter). I guess Yuri did this hack specifically to overcome the issue you are now facing.

    5 Back then we thought that eliminating this hack would be fine because we changed c:\config.sys with a macro but didn't account for secondary macro expansion (which is surely necessary in this case).

    77And now I want to modify `cube` once again in order to still avoid secondary expansion but also fix the problem you had when you asked us to fix `cube` in the first place.
