Summary: Filename syntax -- CRASH

Initial Comment:
batch("c:\temp\s.mac"); causes an infinite loop (!!!).

batch("c:\\temp\\s.mac") works fine.

batch("c:/temp/s.mac") does not work.  Most Windows 
programs nowadays accept both backslashes (Windows 
convention) or forward slashes (Unix convention) in 
filenames.  This is an especially good idea since 
backslashes require quoting in Maxima.

Maxima 5.9.0 gcl 2.5.0 mingw32 Windows 2000 Athlon

Not observed in 5.9.2 or 5.9.3 / gcl 2.6.7 (both Windows).
Closing this report as "works for me".

batch ("i:\\temp\\s.mac"); => OK

batch ("i:/temp/s.mac"); => OK

batch ("i:\temp\s.mac");
 =>  "Could not find `i:temps.mac' using paths in
file_search_maxima ..."  (Error message to be expected.)
