And why, pray tell, does it have to? The image I was debugging was in
the current directory. It shouldn't care what the path name looks
like.
Also, Windows API calls should deal with it just fine. It's a Windows
API call that's failing, according to one of the other posters.
Also, if path names with spaces in are problems, then explain why
Cygwin's installer *automatically created* that directory and made it
my home directory? Obviously, it shouldn't do that if it's going to
cause problems. It should either give the installing user a choice
about it, or it should replace the spaces with underscores, or
whatever.
