Description:
------------
using Log 1.8.7

Warning: _mkpath(): Maximum recursion depth (25) exceeded in c:\php\pear\Log\file.php on line 160

the recursion goes like this:
_mkpath('c:\test\test');
_mkpath('c:\test');
_mkpath('c:\');
_mkpath('c:\');
_mkpath('c:\');
_mkpath('c:\');
_mkpath('c:\');
_mkpath('c:\');
...
(barf)

ie, it doesn't handle windows paths properly

For a while I too was unable to reproduce it, but it's finally happened again. I don't know why it hasn;t happened in the many other times this script has been run in the last couple of days.

The file name parameter is "c:/temp/debug.log". It's being called by apache running as me - the local system admin - so it definitely has create dir rights.

Incidentally, the first recursion is with the parameter "c:\temp", so that would rule out any oddity caused by the fact that I'm using forward slashes initially.

btw, the c:\temp directory exists and has always existed, so it shouldn't be trying to create it at all...
