Sheri,

Thanks, as always, for your testing. Indeed 35 and 36 shouldn't be
trying to open a directory as a file. Have you had a chance to try the
new version that was giving you trouble owing to my typos? One change in
that version is to default "-d skip" for Windows, so that even without
-r it shouldn't be trying to open a directory as a file.

However, the test you did the other day seemed to indicate that it
wasn't recognizing that it was in a Windows environment. In that case,
it does not know how to test for a directory, and so it would try to
open as a file. The test for a Windows environment is this:

#if defined HAVE_WINDOWS_H && HAVE_WINDOWS_H

Maybe there's something wrong there???
