Hello Knut,

Glad to see you around ;)

Well, that means that the code you're patch is perfectly OK:
if bAbsolute contains the correct value matching the path relativness,
then the proper flag is exported (OR'ing 0x02 add the hlstmfIsAbsolute
flag)

As said, this is really not the ideal solution... just imagine that for
some reason, we start writing both absolute and relative paths in
different cases, we would be fooled by this hack.

That's the same than the first one... are you sure you didn't make a
copy-paste error?

I'ld be more in favor of fixing the root cause of the problem (seemingly
the bAbsolute being set to true where it shouldn't)... but maybe that's
what you intended to post as the second patch ;)
