True story: "gconfig" removed root folder...

Hi,

Today I downloaded 2.6.1 kernel and tried to configure it with "make
gconfig". After all changes I selected "Save As" and clicked "/root"
folder to save in. Then I clicked "OK", without giving a file name. I
expected that it opens root folder and lists contents. But this magic
configurator removed (rm -Rf) my root folder and created a file named
"root". It was a terrible experience!..

Please fix this. I didn't check that same problem (I even didn't launch
them) exist for other configurators then gconfig.

I send this mail here because I guessed that the configurator is a part
of kernel.

Note: (As you wished) Please CC me your responses.


TIA
