   I think that the following patch may be sufficient to fix this:

   --- src/file.c
   +++ src/file.c
   @@ -244,10 +244,11 @@
    ** Convert /A/../ to just /
    */
    void file_canonical_name(const char *zOrigName, Blob *pOut){
      if( zOrigName[0]=='/'
    #ifdef __MINGW32__
   +      || zOrigName[0]=='\\'
          || (strlen(zOrigName)>3 && zOrigName[1]==':'
               && (zOrigName[2]=='\\' || zOrigName[2]=='/'))
    #endif
      ){
        blob_set(pOut, zOrigName);
   

   I will strive to boot up a copy of windows this afternoon and try it out. In the meantime, a work-around might be to use forward slashes ("/") instead of backslashes ("\") in the pathname, at least for the first character of an absolute pathname.

2. Change resolution to "Open"
