Doesn't the POSIX setting affect the resolution of pathnames?
where normally fopen("FRED") refers to a file relative to the
current working directory, with POSIX(OFF) it refers instead
to a DDNAME?  Admittedly, this is CRTL behavior, not connected
to availability of UNIX services, yet the difference can be
critical.
