Current M18 code (2000100218), if my HOME directory is ALPHA$DKA0:[USERS.CBLAKE] and I am running Mozilla from DKA0:[M18OPT], then the first time I start Mozilla (and component.reg is created), the following directory is created: DKA0:[M18OPT.ALPHA$DKA0.USERS.CBLAKE._MOZILLA] and inside the file APPREG.; is created. I believe that APPREG should be created in ALPHA$DKA0:[USERS.CBLAKE._MOZILLA]

Problem caused because getenv("HOME") on VMS returns a VMS style filespec, not a UNIX style one. So canonify thought that it had a relative dirspec and so prepended cwd. The fix is to modify where we do the getenv and make sure that we always return the dirspec in UNIX format. I'll attempt to attach the patch next. Not sure if I've tried making an attachment from Mozilla on OpenVMS before.

I got an sr=blizzard via mail. This fix is now checked in to the trunk.
