Subject: difference in file.join between Linux, win32?

question:

if I run some code within the following directory structure
./substruct_start_and_bootstrap_if_necessary.rb
./substruct [directory]
  /config
     boot.rb

this code is within substruct_start_and_bootstrap_if_necessary.rb [and I
run it from the directory that file is in]:

Dir.chdir 'substruct'
puts File.dirname(__FILE__)


in Linux
=> /home/rdp/dev/ruby-benchmark-suite/rails

in windows
=> .

I assume this is a windows bug [if you do a chdir then File.dirname is
off after that point].
?

However, in Linux
Dir.chdir '/'
puts File.dirname(__FILE__)

results in '.' [which is wrong at that point], too.

Thoughts?
