I did take a short look at that function, and I find it quite a mess... erm.

So far I think the PLATFORM_X11 vs PLATFORM_POSIX is little bug, but the FileSel is never(?) included without flagGUI, so the PLATFORM_X11 is defined anyway.

And I guess the function should move the input variable "dir" up, and return the name of the directory it was in before call.

So in your example the result should be:
file = "Isaac/" or "Isaac"
currentDir = "/home" or "/home/"

The problem is maybe with the last "/" at end of "/home/Isaac/" which will fool a bit the "if (basedir)" code path?

IMHO I would rewrite this function from scratch, would somebody tell me how exactly it should behave.

I think I will try anyway, I'm still not sure what "basedir" is supposed to do, but I will try to figure it out.
