FILE_EXPAND_PATH [message #35617]

I have IDL 5.5 on Windows and 5.6 on Solaris. I am using the
FILE_EXPAND_PATH function, but am not getting the behavior I would
like on the Windows platform. It works well in all cases except if
I pass the null string ''. On the unix version, I get back what I
expect, which is the current working directory. On the Windows
platform I get back garbage: a short string of meaningless
characters.

Does anyone know if this behavior is fixed in 5.6 for windows? Or
is this function undefined for the null string?

Thanks.
