When loading a bunch of files in the local directory using MCL 3.0p2
I occasionally get a "file not found" message.  If I then do a
(directory ";*" :files 't), it gives me a directory of the root
directory rather than the local.  This only happens about 1/5 of the
time, and seems to occur with no provocation.  Obviously something is
changing the local directory.  What causes this and how do I fix it?

Bill
