-------------------------------------------------------+--------------------
 My test enviroment is win xp with the default locale Chinese_Taiwan.950.
 CodePage 950 which extend the Big5 encoding system is created by ms and
 use in Taiwan mostly.
 the cause is the cp950 using double-bytes to assemble a word,
 but some byte contains \ (0x5c) that also is escape char in c/cpp language
 or the file path separator in ms os.
 some information about the Big5 encoding system:
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big5


 the attachment is some fix in path.hpp but some cases are lost.
 It just check the '\' is a real path separator or a part of Big5 char.
