[Xitami] URGENT - Major server bug in cgi - never before seen

[MRJ InfoTech Admin]

I have been using and testing Xitami with my VB cgi's for some 5 years now.
Never before have I seen such odd behaviour as the past two days.

I built my cgi on a box running XP Pro sp1

I intend to run them on the exact same configuration Xitami 2.5 with XP pro sp1

In this cgi I have a call for the following


sFilePath = App.path & "\lst\_filename.hit"

then open the file and increment a number and close it again... basic hit count

When i run it on the dev station it executes fast and excellent like it should

When I execute this on a setup on my server machine I get


Error msg (if any): X:\webroot\TheDomainName\cgi-bin\lst\filename.hit
The following internal error has occurred:
File not found Error Number =  53


Ohhhh boy

Well to begin with, for some obscure reason, on the server machine it 
doesn't really come back this way.

If I do a set call to the exact path, hard coded, that's what it look like

When I do a call app.path in VB it comes back as

X:\webroot\TheDom~1\cgi-bin\lst\filename.hit

Why in heavens name it suddenly started doing short filenames and paths I 
cannot understand.

Does anyone have a clue as to how to disable this goof ball function in my 
machine so my Xitami will run as a normal machine again?

Thank you in advance.
