Description Jared Burns CLA 2004-04-01 16:48:55 EST 
With the latest code from HEAD, I get the following exception when I try to launch a "C++ Local" 
application. Contrary to the error message, the directory "/home/jburns/tmp/deleteme/Hello C" 
does exist.

The problem seems to be related to the space in the pathname. If I remove the " C", it will launch 
correctly.

Comment 1 Nobody - feel free to take it CLA 2004-04-02 00:11:59 EST 
Alain, please, take a look at this. The "environment-cd" command doesn't accept 
quotes on Linux, but works fine on Windows.

Yes, @*&$#&^(#, the inconsistency of gdb really annoys me.
And I lack time to fix it in gdb itself.

Thanks for the heads, I'll try to find a work around.
Comment 3 Alain Magloire CLA 2004-05-07 11:29:04 EDT 
Allright fix in the head ... after &$#*#^$(&^#&( cursing
at gdb's behaviour.  Nothing is consistent .. sigh 8-)
