GDB under Cygwin: spaces in source path

["Greg Johansen" <gregj1@tampabay.rr.com>]

Sorry if this is a repost:

I am using GDB5.0 under cygwin on a Windows PC.  I have some sources in a
directory path that contains spaces.  GDB will let me cd to such a
directory:  "cd /cygdrive/c/test space", but I cannot figure out how to
specify a space-containing directory with the "directory" command.  I have
tried quotes and tried using backslash to escape the spaces, but GDB seems
to replace the space character with $cwd(see log below).

Is there some way to specify a source path that includes spaces?

thanks...gregj
