Good catch!

I added more tests and updated the code to handle DOS/Windows paths.

I see.

So that we can be 100% sure, today I compiled and tested the patch
against the last four versions of Lua, as well as, the famously speedy

information to the appropriate places.

I am attaching a new version of the patch.

Thank you!
