[Bug 15454] New: Wine cannot handle directories that contain a trailing period

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15454

Summary: Wine cannot handle directories that contain a trailing
                    period
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS/GIT
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

With current Git (wine-1.1.5-207-gc425c8a), if I try to run any executable for
which one of the directory components of the executable path contains a
trailing period, Wine cannot find the executable and fails:

andrew@andrew-desktop:~/.wine/drive_c/test./test$ wine test.exe
Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory
'/home/andrew/.wine/drive_c/test./test', starting in the Windows directory.
wine: could not load L"C:\windows\system32\test.exe": Module not found

The use of CVs/GIT is deprecated, specify a real Wine version instead. If not
sure
run 'wine --version'.

Well, such names sort of illegal in windows (try creating directory or file
named test. in Windows - you will fail because Windows strip trailing blanks
and dots from filenames), and Wine follows Windows behavior so it cannot use
such names too.

Though we might be able to workaround it somehow. Alexandre would know
better...

Closing won't fix. As indicated this name is illegal in windows.
