[BUG] Relative directory strangeness?

/home/ned/tmp is an empty directory.
/tmp/xx.txt exists and is a file.

d _ FileDirectory on: '/home/ned/tmp'.
d fileExists: 'tmp/xx.txt'          "true, but shouldn't be"
d fileExists: './tmp/xx.txt'          "true, but shouldn't be"
d fileExists: '/tmp/xx.txt'        "true"
d fileExists: '/home/ned/tmp/tmp/xx.txt'          "false"

It seems to me that there should be some way to test for the existence of 
arbitrary files even in subdirectories. I think that 

d fileExists: 'tmp/xx.txt'

and 

d fileExists: './tmp/xx.txt'

should both return false.

Anyone else got an opinion on this?
