I'd wager Elena was talking about the spaces inside the parentheses.

After arguing that this was a stupid standard on gdb-patches :-) I made
some snarky comment about it on the dwarf2 mailing list and was
informed that there do exist compilers that emit hostname:pathname.
I'd have to dig up the e-mails to find it, but I think the SGI compiler
was an example of one.

I'm not arguing that your patch needs to handle this; this hasn't been
properly handled in gdb until now so it's not a regression.
