>Description:
I´ve a little program which has only 2 lines.
Assuming it is in c:\p, I compile it, and then I set a breakpoint like this:

g++ -g -o p.exe c:/p/p.cpp -mwindows 
gdb
break "c:/p/p.cpp:7"
run

gdb won´t stop at the breakpoint.
however if I do:

cd c:\m
g++ -g -o p.exe p.cpp -mwindows 
gdb
break "p.cpp:7"
run

it breaks correctly.
I think there´s something broken within the path handling
