[gordon dot magnusson at gmail dot com]

windres 2.18.50 contains the following regression relative to 2.17.50:

C:\demo>dir /s /b
C:\demo\foo
C:\demo\quux.rc
C:\demo\windres-2.17.50-20060824.exe
C:\demo\windres-2.18.50-20071123.exe
C:\demo\foo\bar.txt

C:\demo>type quux.rc
bar.txt eieio foo/bar.txt

C:\demo>type foo\bar.txt
anything

C:\demo>ren windres-2.17.50-20060824.exe windres.exe

Both windres executables were downloaded from mingw.org. windres-2.17.50-
20060824.exe contains MinGW-specific patches, but windres-2.18.50-20071123.exe 
was built from plain FSF sources.

Chris Sutcliffe has confirmed that this bug is present in the binutils 2.18.50-
20071229 snapshot (see 
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.mingw.user/24972 ).
