My Windows machine is currently offline, and I will not
have time to fix this tomorrow. The slash change should
only be one or two lines of code once the appropriate
place in the code is identified...

Windows does that sometimes, I don't recall when exactly.
However, it is a weakness of using a path as the URI in
that there is more than one equally valid path for the same
file (and that's ignoring case insensitivity on Windows).
