System works with CWD in windows

Ruby JRuby

Hi all.
I noticed that with MRI on windows, if you have
./xxx.bat

and you do

system(“xxx”)

it fails because it refuses to run anything from the current working
directory, citing it as a security concern.

Jruby, however, is more true to the OS and allows it to be run. Is this
a spec bug in jruby, think you?
I guess it is…
-r

At Ruby Midwest I heard some people talking about the removal of . from
the path in 1.9. It is going to break a lot of stuff.
