The story about ./tex being (partially) restored as .tex just serves
to strengthen my impression that wbak doesn't understand what "." is.
Indeed, if you try

  wbak -dev ct -f 1 -l .

then wbak will happily report that it is starting the write, then just
as happily exit without having written anything (except an empty
backup file, that is).  I will add this story to my growing collection
of Apollo jokes :-)
