That bugs points at
http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/2005-October/025512.html, which
quotes Tim as saying:

: No idea where this slash-vs-backslash confusion ultimately comes from,
: though.  Who recently checked code in hard-coding "/" as a path
: separator?

So in this specific example, the problem seems less a lack of Windows
centric developers, but more an abundance of non-Windows-centric developers
:)

These test failures appear at first glance to not be windows specific at
all - just possibly pointing at non-portable code written by others.  As a
Windows developer, I'm afraid I have no idea where I would start looking for
this bug.
