Hi,

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but it sounds like it,
because gcc-2.95.x and 3.x should exhibit the same behaviour.

Which version of DDD are you using?

Are you using gdb?  If so, the work-around is to add something like
this to your .gdbinit file:

    dir $cdir:$cwd:my_dir_1:my_dir_2
