Yes. As far as I know they all do that under Windows
except Visual Eiffel.

But I don't think that it is a Gobo issue. Platform-dependent
behavior should be handled by the compiler in my opinion. I
don't want to have to provide different versions of the same
class for the different Eiffel compilers and yet again different
versions for all supported platforms.
