Hi all.
My understanding is that TRUENAME should complain if passed a filename which
does not exist. Under Windows GCL, this only partly works (see the
transcript below).
Does this curently work correctly under the Unix ports?
Cheers

======================================================
;; This one exists
>(truename (make-pathname :defaults "c:/hello.txt"))
#p"c:/hello.txt"
;; This one doesn't, but elicits no failure
>(truename (make-pathname :defaults "c:/non-existent"))
#p"c:/non-existent"
;; This one doesn't, and seems to work correctly
>(truename (make-pathname :defaults "c:/non-existent/"))
Error: Cannot get the truename of #p"c:/non-existent/".
