Very odd problem...

Ok...this is totally bizarre.

I have Yarn installed on my G drive, in the G:\Yarn directory, on a
Win95 OSR2 machine. I believe I have V.92 for Windows. It's been going
along just fine, until about a week ago. It seems that somehow, the
path Yarn builds for various activites has become screwed up.

When I try to do something like an import, it's trying, and failing to
run g:\yarn \filter1.exe
It does actually stick all the e-mail into my inbox, and it does
properly import newsgroup messages, though.

Yes, somehow, there's a blank space in there. I've checked the autoexec
for the HOME and YARN entries, and ensured there's no blanks trailing.
I've looked everywhere else for any other instances of "g:\yarn ", and
can't find any likely culprits.

Any ideas? For the time being, I've added extra SET HOME and SET YARN
statements to the .BAT files I use to do my "housekeeping", and that's
working, but I'd kinda like to know what the problem is.

In a maybe-related problem, I find myself unable to run a rebuild -h or
a rebuild -o. It tells me there's a sharing violation, or something,
though there's nothing else open on the whole machine.
