I guess HPA's tftpd doesn't support for hierarchy. BB's one just
chdir()s to its root and then serves files regardless of their names
(except dots are not allowed in filenames). So yes, it is the feature
(by security reasons, I guess) of HPA's tftpd.

You can try to use BB's tftpd -- it also is started via inetd. If you
will, please, mail the results.
