Any known problems with relative paths in VPATH on Windows?

Hi,

Are there any known problems or caveats with having relative paths with ..\
in VPATH on Windows?

I'm getting some strange errors: I have a directory on the form
..\..\..\..\foo\bar on VPATH, where there are two .c files. make finds one,
but not the other, via VPATH, and make -d gives me no clues. The problem
happens every time and in different make versions, but I can only reproduce
it on Windows, and only with some makefiles (I have many makefiles on the
same form, where only the source file names differ). The problem disappears
if I use an absolute path in VPATH, but this will break if cwd contains
spaces.

This all happens inside a rather complex makefile jungle, so it might just
be a problem with my makefiles; I'm working on minimizing a test case.
