Thanks for replying Scott. You've described the same problems I'm having. If
you use the non-GUI (i.e. the -nw switch), the source code is displayed
properly. This is a feature of the pathing changes I described concerning \ vs
/. It has caused a bug in gdbtk when it passes the source file name to the tk
routines to display it. I haven't found where this happens in gdbtk source
yet, it's difficult to debug a debugger that's broken.
