RE: psql /i path?

if i use either of the following paths
/cygdrive/c/stuff/fantas~1/develo~1/server/db/tables.sql
/cygdrive/c/stuff/fantas~1/development/server/db/tables.sql

it works fine. that tells me that /i has problems with
directory names that contain spaces and it isn't just
long filenames.

bug? if so, i'll report it but if it is FAD then i won't.
