Title:
  stack overflow in file module

Status in Zorba - The XQuery Processor:
  New

Bug description:
  At least on some platforms the file:list($dir) function also returns
  the "." entry (current directory).

  Other functions in the file module like file:copy and file:delete call file:list to retrieve directory contents but do not handle the 
  current directory entry "." or parent directory entry "..". This results in an endless recursion terminating with a stack overflow.

  Either all functions in the file module must handle "." and ".."
  correctly or file:list simply should not return it.

  This happens on the demo appserver but not on my local computer so maybe it happens only with a certain library version -
  but "." and ".." entries can be filtered out using XQuery.
