Description Erich E. Hoover 2013-02-19 10:16:16 UTC

Calling GetLongPathName on a string containing the self-referencing string '.' returns a bogus path, for example:
GetLongPathName('shortpath\.')
returns
shortpath\shortpath
instead of
shortpath\.

This poses a problem for Silverlight, which uses this feature (for some odd reason) to find the path for debugging DLLs.
