From the strace log, the problem is that this:

\home\boyde\prj\ncurses\test\cardfile.c

is being passed to stat().  This is a MS-DOS path spec that is not translated to
a cygwin spec due to Corinna's recent changes (which I asked for).

I don't know where in gdb this path is being munged so strangely but that is
what the problem is.  It actually looks like a gdb bug.
