Hello

On Solaris the following snippet worked fine with Java 1.4.1-b21 with
relative pathnames given in the filename (ie.  filename =
"../blabla/xy/myfile")


private void readFileList(String filename) {
    try {
        FileReader fr = new FileReader(filename);
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(fr);
        }
    }
    catch (FileNotFoundException ex1) {
    }

With Java 1.4.2_01-b06 the same code throws the FileNotFoundException
with a relative pathname.

With an absolute pathname it is still fine, but I need it with
relative pathnames.

Any hint how to make it work again in Java 1.4.2_01-b06 ??

Thanks,
Zoran
