[gollem] A question about setting the root

[Anders Sjöö]

I have done about the same thing. For testing purpose I have placed a 
copy of Horde and Gollem on a Windows box. It's working fine, though 
there is one problem. I have tried to check so that users can't cd 
any nearer root of the file system then their own home directory. If 
I press "Change folder" and type ".." in the dialog when standing in 
[root], I'm just redirected back to [root], which is fine. But if I 
change to a subdirectory of [root], press "Change folder" and then 
type "../.." (or "..\..") something goes wrong. Apache hangs with a 
CPU usage near 100% and has to be killed with the Task Manager.

I don't know if this is specific just when running on a Windows box. 
I'm using Apache 1.3.33, php 4.4.0, Horde 3.0.9 and Gollem 1.0.1.

Anders Sjöö
