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?
