+Summary: HttpRequest.MapPath() does not work correctly
+
+Giving the following filesystem structure...
+
+/var
+  + /html
+       + app1
+       |   + myForm1.aspx
+       |   + data
+       |       + file1.xml
+       |       + file2.xml
+       + app2
+           + myForm2.aspx
+
+... "/var/html/app2/myForm2.aspx" is not able to access
+the "data" directory in "/var/html/app1".
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Create a filesystem structure like the one described
+   above
+
+2. In "/var/www/html/app2/myForm2.aspx" add the following
+   code snippet:
+
+   string dataDir = Server.MapPath(".."
+     + Path.DirectorySeparatorChar
+     + "pms" +Path.DirectorySeparatorChar + "data");
+                                                                          
+                      
+Actual Results:
+HttpRequest.MapPath() returns "/var/www/html/app2/app1/data".
+
+Expected Results:
+HttpRequest.MapPath() should return "/var/www/html/app2/../app1/data".
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always.
+
+Additional Information:
+This works on M$ Windows.
