I think you mean filename/.m, but anyway, yes, there are two places in
edit.m where strcat should be used instead of fullfile.  There is also
one other small bug in the edit function that was fixed after the 3.0
release.  Please try the patch below.

Yes, the bug_report script is a Unix shell script.  It won't work on
Windows systems.
