But is `convert-standard-filename' used often enough? A quick grep gives me the impression it doesn't cut it: most filenames that come from arguments are presumed to be already valid and aren't passed through `convert-standard-filename'. Only hardcoded filenames are passed through `convert-standard-filename', it seems. > The problem is that this is happening during bootstrap, when > w32-fns.el is not loaded yet. Are you sure? The problem is when re-building loaddefs.el which happens after the first dump (i.e. the special bootstrap-dump). Are you saying that the bootstrap-dump does not load w32-fns.el? How could that be? loadup.el seems to load it whether it's the normal dump or the boostrap dump. Stefan
