Hello,
Thanks for the tip! Eclipse is indeed involved, and if you know
of such things occurring with Eclipse, then this must be it!
It didn't occur to me that a build script could possibly go
and merrily copy over a hidden folder, but it's something I've not excluded.
Just to be sure, I'll check if what is occurring truly is what you describe,
and presuming it's so, many thanks for suggesting a solution. :)
Best regards,
Arp.
