Summary0010595: Cmake fails when PATH begin with /tmp_mnt
DescriptionIf the Path to the application begin with /tmp_mnt/.... cmake remove this first token.

In cmake-2.8.1/Source/kwsys/SystemTools.cxx line 4646.

4645 // Work-around an SGI problem by always adding this mapping:
4646 SystemTools::AddTranslationPath("/tmp_mnt/", "/");

I'm not on SGI but my home directory is nfs automounted on: /tmp_mnt/hasources,
lack of chance. And ALL the computers of our research team are using this Path
to mount the home patition from a HA nfs server :-(

Removing this line, cmake works fine.

This work-around code for a SGI bug is a little bit crazy but how possible is it
to change it for a better fix to make cmake safer ? This cmake bug can occur for
everybody using "/tmp_mnt" as a mount point....

Wow, this one's been there since 2001-12-04:

  http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=11084af4 [^]

I have no idea what the original problem was and see no reason not to remove it.

This is what I like to call "crazy code" -- it should just be removed unless somebody has a very good reason to keep it.
