Sorry, but with released patchlevel 125 I can no longer reproduce this:

Hello,

While working on some API improvements for Windows, found the following issue:

<pre>

It is not clear why while File.expand_path worked, File.join broke but string interpolation didn't.

Even worse is that File.open failed.

I'm working on a replacement function for expand_path that rely on MultiByteToWideChar + GetFullPathNameW + WideCharToMultiByte and then uses rb_filesystem_str_new_cstr to return the string.

The funny fact is that replacement work properly:

<pre>
C:\Users\Luis\Projects\oss\me\fenix>ripl -Ilib
>> require "fenix"
=> true
>> Dir.chdir "V:"
=> 0
>> Dir.pwd
=> "V:/fóñè"
>> c = Fenix::File.expand_path "."
=> "V:/fóñè"
>> c.encoding
=> #<Encoding:Windows-1252>
>> File.join(c, "foo").encoding
=> #<Encoding:Windows-1252>
>> d = "#{c}/foo"
=> "V:/fóñè/foo"
>> d.encoding
=> #<Encoding:Windows-1252>
>> File.open(d, "w") { |f| f.puts "hi" }
=> nil
</pre>
