Dear developers of ABCL,

I found a problem recently in both ABCL 0.21.0 and 0.24.0, where I could not rename a file to any file without an extension. For example, with an existing file /tmp/a.txt,

CL-USER> (rename-file "/tmp/a.txt" "/tmp/a") #P"/tmp/a.txt" #P"/tmp/a.txt" #P"/tmp/a.txt"

The file does not change at all. With any extension, everything works as expected.

Thanks in advance.

That is how RENAME-FILE is specified in Common Lisp. See http://l1sp.org/cl/rename-file and in particular the part regarding merge-pathnames.
