Subject: File.lib bug?

Hello!

Using 1.6.7 on a win98 box:

C:\>irb
irb(main):001:0> d=File.join('c:/','windows')
"c://windows"
irb(main):002:0> File.directory?(d)
false
irb(main):003:0> File.directory?('c:/windows')
true
irb(main):004:0> File.expand_path(d)
"c:/windows"
irb(main):005:0> File.directory?(File.expand_path(d))
true

Has this been fixed in 1.7.x? I've found the expand_path() trick in ruby-
talk, but couldn't find any other reference to this problem.

BTW: is there some documentation about 1.7.x? I've searched for it, but 
wasn't able to find anything... 

Thank you, Andrea
