That seems weird.

Is this based upon the same source file, or on anoother? To really
compare the two, you need a identical source for both.

Ah. But that sounds like the author did strip the path from the Unix
version; but this stripping must have failed in the Mac version because
of the different directory separator character.

You'll need to locate the snippet that does this, and update it. Look
for something with functionality similar to

	s/.*\///;

(strip everything up to the last slash)

and replace it with something like

	s/.*[:\/]//;
