The problem seems to be an error in porting the native code from harmony to android. In harmony there's a method that should return a string where the roots are null separated and a second null at the end. http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/harmony/enhanced/classlib/trunk/modules/luni/src/main/native/luni/shared/file.c?view=co (method Java_java_io_File_rootsImpl)
<http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/harmony/enhanced/classlib/trunk/modules/luni/src/main/native/luni/shared/file.c?view=co>It seems like the android implementation just creates such a string but fails to process it correctly (which would get rid of the garbage at the end). http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/dalvik.git;a=blob;f=libcore/luni/src/main/native/java_io_File.c;hb=HEAD#l55 -- Urs On Sat, Jun 13, 2009 at 9:23 PM, Urs Grob <grob....@gmail.com> wrote: > This looks like a bug.
