Sorry, I reported futher info to the wrong address :) Here are my earlier
findings:
I used:
$PERL/bin/perl $PERL/bin/pp $GUI --icon win32/client.ico -C -I
"//.host/Shared Folders/root/src/Crossfire" -I . -o deliantra.exe -A addlist
bin/deliantra
which resulted in an open for "//.host/Shared Folders/root/src/Crossfire" in
the given code segment, which failed because presumably, under windows, you
cannot open() directories.

I have no idea what its for, as -I specifies a diretcory only, so opening
it must be caused by some deeper logic bug somewhere.

Likely, as I was using that -I switch forever.
