Subject: Ruby 1.8.0 bugs on Dir

Okay, two separate bugs.  One probably on all platforms and one more serious
one only on mswindows.


BUG 1 (MS only)
=====
Using the version with the automatic installer on windows and cygwin, too.

$ C:/ruby/bin/ruby -v           
ruby 1.8.0 (2003-08-04) [i386-mswin32]
$ ruby -v  
ruby 1.8.0 (2003-08-04) [i386-cygwin]

A simple script that returns the directory contents of a dir.

#!/usr/bin/ruby

puts ARGV[0]

Dir.foreach(ARGV[0]) { |i|
  print i, " "
}

$ bug.fb C:
will instead open and list the current directory on ruby mswin32, instead of C:

$ bug.fb C:/
works fine.

Both work properly opening under ruby cygwin.


BUG 2
=====

#!/usr/bin/ruby

puts ARGV[0]

Dir.open(ARGV[0]) { |i|
  print i, " "
}

will print:
C:\ruby\learningGGA>bug2.rb C:
C:
#<Dir:0x2847fa8>

on any of my two ruby versions.  This is inconsistent with what ri docs say it
should do.
