Hi Phil! Please find attached a patch that allows the gda backend to work with windows paths of the form c:\path\to\file.db
Previously the code in gnc-backend-gda.c tried to eliminate file:// prefixes by looking for a colon and then removing everything before the colon and the two chars after the colon. Applying this strategy to the windows paths makes the code happily find the colon, and then take out part of the path. It would progress and eventually crash at line 159 when it assumes there are two colons in the string and assigns to a null pointer. This patch solves the problem by looking for more than simply a colon, but actually looks for the "://" string before removing it.
