Not a bug in primPathNameDelimiter.
Was a bug in TLoad3DSMax
After talking with John and Ian it was clear that the VMs where
processing as designed and it forced me to do a more thorough job of
debugging. The actual problem was a hardcoded comparison in
TLoad3DSMax searching for \ and : but not /. Still baffles me that it
actually worked on Windows and Unix but not on Macintosh. I modified
the methods to use the pathNameDelimiter instead of the constant and
now it works with both VMs on Macs.
A changeset is attached.
