Subject: Minor change to path lookup that fixes the bug that creating a file
X-Git-Tag: v3.1.3~53
X-Git-Url: http://zhaoyanbai.com/repos/%22http:/www.isc.org/icons/zpipe.c?a=commitdiff_plain;h=52b71b2396da7492e99c90a2ad873634fca0d326;p=minix.git

Minor change to path lookup that fixes the bug that creating a file
as a first component of an absolute path failed (e.g. 'touch /file'),
due to leading slashes not being skipped in the processed path counter
in that case, causing create to fail.
