extra characters appearing in filename

Hello,

We are trying to run a windows application over crossover linux. After installing the application and the needed dlls, the application starts correctly but cannot open files.

The problem seems to happen when we use the open dialog to select a file. The path always seems to be correct but we can see an additionnal leeding character prepended to the filename. This character is not constant either. Here are two example of traces :

trace:file:RtlGetCurrentDirectory_U (520 0x34b940)  
trace:file:RtlGetFullPathName_U (L"C:\\\\\00e8\\savnw.sav" 520 0x34bb3c (nil))  
trace:file:GetFileAttributesW L"C:\\\00e8\\savnw.sav"  
trace:file:RtlDosPathNameToNtPathName_U (L"C:\\\00e8\\savnw.sav",0x34c128,(nil),(nil))  
trace:file:RtlGetFullPathName_U (L"C:\\\00e8\\savnw.sav" 520 0x34bee0 (nil))  
warn:file:wine_nt_to_unix_file_name L"\00e8\\savnw.sav" not found in /home/bp5850/.cxgames/winxp_7/dosdevices/c:  

trace:file:RtlGetCurrentDirectory_U (520 0x34b940)  
trace:file:RtlGetFullPathName_U (L"Y:\\data_pc\\savnw_pti\\lf\\%\\savnw.sav" 520 0x34bb3c (nil))  
trace:file:GetFileAttributesW L"Y:\\data_pc\\savnw_pti\\lf\\%\\savnw.sav"  
trace:file:RtlDosPathNameToNtPathName_U (L"Y:\\data_pc\\savnw_pti\\lf\\%\\savnw.sav",0x34c128,(nil),(nil))  
trace:file:RtlGetFullPathName_U (L"Y:\\data_pc\\savnw_pti\\lf\\%\\savnw.sav" 520 0x34bee0 (nil))  
warn:file:wine_nt_to_unix_file_name L"%\\savnw.sav" not found in /home/bp5850/.cxgames/winxp_7/dosdevices/y:/data_pc/savnw_pti/lf

In the first case, the \00e8 character was added (as a leading directory?) and in the second case a % was added.

In this caused by the file/pathname conversion? Could this be a problem with a dll, either builtin or one we added?

Thanks,

Benoit Morin
