Description grg CLA 2009-02-10 10:52:11 EST 
Using CDT and cygwin, I tried to change the preference "Common Source Lookup Path" to correct strange incompatabilities between cygwin.  When I click OK, all forward slashes are transformed into backslashes.  The initial install had created an entry "/cygdrive/c/ - c:/".  This has become "\cygdrive\c\ - c:\" and the debugger is no longer functional.  Impossible to use forward slashes.
