Strange... I can only say that I am not having the same
behavior. Windows documentation clearly states that variable names are
not case-sensitive (so that "you can combine uppercase and lowercase
letters in your variable names to make your code more readable", as
they say).

Now, I *guess* that my patch would not change the behavior of GDB in
your case, as the run-time check would return "case sensitive".
That's a guess... Could you try it?
