[Mingw-users] windres 2.18.50 regression

["Gordon Magnusson" <gordon.magnusson@xxxxxxxxx>]

windres 2.18.50 contains the following regression relative to 2.17.50:

C:\demo>dir /s /b
C:\demo\foo
C:\demo\quux.rc
C:\demo\windres-2.17.50-20060824.exe
C:\demo\windres-2.18.50-20071123.exe
C:\demo\foo\bar.txt

C:\demo>type quux.rc
bar.txt eieio foo/bar.txt

C:\demo>type foo\bar.txt
anything

C:\demo>ren windres-2.17.50-20060824.exe windres.exe

C:\demo>.\windres --version

C:\demo>.\windres quux.rc quux2.o
.\windres: can't open file `foo': Permission denied

I can't figure out how to fix this by patching the binutils source.

Have any other MinGW users seen this?  Should I file a binutils bug,
since (to my knowledge) 2.18.50-20071123 consists of plain FSF
sources?
