Mmm, So can I say I don't buy your answers, because you don't tell the truth when reporting ? :-/
I've attached the two patches I can see from an older tar.
Thanks! Now I see the situation is even funnier. The patches are
actually unrelated to our MiNT problem, both of them are applied in
1.14 which is... broken (but in a different way, complaining about
offests or what). Then 1.15 seems to be working OK (warnings about
ownership but -- works). So the latest 1.2x contains a regression
and/or feature which harms our poor FreeMiNT filesystem.
Just use 'h' as I said, as it's a true story, whether you buy it or not :-) Alan.
