Thanks for reporting it. 
It works ok for me with ex.exe, but crashes 
as you say with exw.exe.

Please enter this bug report on SourceForge,
in the Euphoria bug tracker:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=182827&atid=902782

There's another dir-related bug reported by Derek,
already there. There were other dir-related bugs
reported in the past (Juergen reported some). 
I think they are mainly weird cases that are broken 
inside the Watcom routine Euphoria uses. I'll try to dig those out
and enter them, as well as any other 3.0 bugs I know about.

 From now on, I'd like to see all bugs reported in
the bug tracker, preferably by the person who
found the bug, or someone else who understands
something about the bug. Follow-up information on a bug
can be added by anyone who knows something about it. 
The bug list should be public information maintained by the
community, not a private list on my hard drive.
If someone thinks they know how to fix a bug,
they can get developer permission from me to
go ahead with it. Of course I still intend to fix
many bugs by myself.
