I see this returned from M-: (which prints the result):
"c\\:/foo/simple.el"
Yes, I have customized it:
Its value is
"C:/cygwin/bin/bash.exe"
Original value was
"c:/emacs/trunk/bin/cmdproxy.exe"
And yes, I see that also in Emacs 23 and 22. (However, prior to Emacs 22 I see
this instead:
"\"c:/foo/simple.el\""
Guess I never noticed this before. I closed the bug. Thx.
