Chris, I just tried this with I20100525-0800 on Windows XP and did not see a problem. Is this only a problem on Linux?
Comment 2 Chris Goldthorpe CLA 2010-05-27 13:25:56 EDT 
I just tested and it is Linux only. There is a backslash in the hyperlink which is almost certainly the problem.

Thanks for the tip. I think I may have been looking at the wrong page. Anyway, a search for a '\' has helped me locate the problem and I've delivered the fix to HEAD.

Looks like I never marked this as being fixed. I'll retarget to 3.7M4 so I can verify the bug then.

Verified by source code inspection with I20101206-1800 on Windows XP.
