[Zope] LocalFS Issues

[Samir Mishra]

Apart from another issue I've been having with LocalFS, which I think I may
have fixed by upgrading LocalFS to ver. 1.1, I'm experiencing other
unexpected behaviour. 

When I add a LocalFS object and specify the path as "." (ie, current
directory), LocalFS doesn't map it to the $INSTANCE/var directory any
longer, and neither does it map it to $ZOPE. It's mapped to ..\$ZOPE. This
doesn't seem safe either. It's a bother since I've always used relative
paths for LocalFS. 

And when I try and edit (and only on edit) the path on an already existing
LocalFS object from the Properties tab, I get the following error -

Any way to fix this?

Using Python 2.3.3/Zope 2.7/LocalFS 1.1

Thanks.
