Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

This is taken from a posting on comp.emacs that fixes the gud/pdb
debugger under windows. The problem is that pdb seems to stop
responding and doesn't show any output after a couple of commands.

Since the fix just involves changing a regexp to allow for windows/dos
style pathnames, I hypothetize that pdb stops responding when it first
is presented with such a pathname. This is consistent with the
behaviour I have observed.

Applying the fix by setq'ing the variable to the new value fixes the
problem on my machine.
