Problem opening files when directory name contains a '#'

Hello,

I just ran into a weird situation and was wondering if there is a way to get around it other than renaming the directory that contains the '#' character.

A little background.  I am using Windows XP, the latest version of Vim taken from the Mercurial repository and compiled using Visual Studio 2010.  My version of Vim lives under the C:\vim directory.

Steps to create the weirdness:

1) Open a Windows Command Prompt.

2) Start a new version of Vim Server, since I like only having one instance of Vim running at a time, by entering:

    'c:\vim\gvim -u NONE --servername VIM'

3) Move to the directory that contains the '#' character:

  'cd c:\develop\c#\foo'

3) Create a new files by entering:

    'c:\vim\gvim -u NONE --servername VIM --remote-silent bar.cs

4) In the instance of Vim that is already running I get the following error and the file is not opened:

    'E194: No alternate file name to substitute for '#''

Any idea what is happening here?

Sure, I could rename the directory and remove the '#' character, but I was wondering if there is something else...

Thanks.
