I get this same problem in 1.1.3.7 with all experimental patches
applied.  I have my C: linked to a real Linux directory,
/var/lib/dosemu/C -- if I try to edit (DOS' edit) anything in the root
directory it says "Edit was unable to access the file 'C:\'", even
though I typed "edit config.sys" in C:\ (it actually does the same thing
in any directory).  It also ends up deleting the file I was trying to
open.  However, ezedit works fine.

I also get some very strange behavior if I try to save a file.  If I
attempt to save to a filename that does not exist, it will ask me if I
want to replace the existing file!  If I say yes, it'll give me an error
that it wasn't able to write it, but I still end up with a new filename
named something like "ALCGDCEO."  Very odd.

Any ideas?
