This code:

        BPath path1 = "/aaa/bbb";
        BPath path2 = "/ccc/ddd";

        path1.Append(path2.Path());

        printf("%s\n", path1.Path());
Will print "(null)". The reason is that path2 must be relative (and not absolute) so the call to Append fails. I don't have anymore any working ZETA or BeOS installations here to test but I would be surprised if this behaviour is expected. IMHO, it should simply not change the original path. 

So, is this really the wanetd behaviour? Can someone test this on BeOS/
ZETA and check if the same happens?
Even if it's the BeOS behavior, we should change that so Append() leaves the object as it was in case of failure.
