the call to rel2abs? since it does no check of the underlying filesystem I doubt that's realistic.
you are right, I've confused with the opposite operation abs2rel, which may fail if the base doesn't fit.
In any case it's a good idea to check that rel2abs gives you a path that exists, no?
yeah, I had planned on that.
I'm off to ny.pm tomorrow, so I'll probably get back around to this on thursday.
