I have a custom menu item that appears to get a strange value for the area_path key in 5.5.2 (Solaris). The value in 4.2.1 is what I would expect. In my 4.2.1 version, when I print out the value of the area_path key, I get:
/iwmnt/default/main/intranet/news/WORKAREA/int
However, in my 5.5.2 installation, using the identical script, the area_path value is this:
/.iwmnt/default/main/intranet/news/WORKAREA/int
Why is there a dot (.) character appearing after the initial "/" character? I am using iwattrib in my script using the value of area_path, and it fails with the dot in the path, but works without the dot. I have to use a regular expression to strip the dot out before I can proceed. This seems to me to be a bug. Either iwattrib should understand the path with the dot, or area_path should not have the dot.
