Right. Presumably, on windows 9x you could do something like:
(gdb) shell
d:
cd \foo
exit
and end up invalidating anything which was previously pointing to
d:foo.
Although, hmm. That assumes that all of the filenames had been
previously resolved of course. I don't think that's necessarily true in
gdb is it? Wouldn't some filenames be canonicalized only as needed?
