Presumably, on windows 9x you could do something like: (gdb) shell d: cd \foo exit and end up invalidating anything which was previously pointing to d:foo. Although, hmm. That assumes that all of the filenames had been previously resolved of course. I don't think that's necessarily true in gdb is it? Wouldn't some filenames be canonicalized only as needed? cgf
