[WM] cgi: Blank lines stripped and ?script tries to go above webroot?

Hi,

I'm using the webmake cgi to get around a rubbish hosting service - their ftp 
connection is really patchy, but it's fast and easy to edit things in the 
webmake cgi - thanks!

I have noticed a couple of niggles (I'm using WebMake 2.3):

1) Blank lines can be stripped off the top of entries - this can mess up the 
text/et formatting as

| <content ...>
|
| My title
| ---------
|
| blah
| </content>

gradually turns into

| <content ...>My Title
| ---------
|
| blah
| </content>

which doesn't get interpreted correctly.


2) When I build the site, I get one instance of

"Warning: opendir(./..): Permission denied at [...]/lib/HTML/WebMake/Main.pm 
line 295"

and more than 20 instances of

"Warning: opendir(./..): Permission denied at [...]/lib/HTML/WebMake/Main.pm 
line 2094"

 My *guess* is that the script is trying to open a directory above the webroot 
-- I had a brief look at the lines in question, but couldn't see what was 
going on.

It doesn't seem to affect the progam, so I have been ignoring it.


Does anyone know if these are a) known bugs b) unkown bugs or c) me being 
daft?

Thanks,


Rich
