Open File Error?

Dear Prof. Daniel Diaz and other GNU-Prolog developers!
Thank you very much for your splendid Prolog compiler.

I would like to report the following 'BUG' (or 'Short-coming') under Windows OS.
I would be very glad as a Japanese user, if you could fix it some time.

Thank you very much, again.

OS:  Windows Vista
GNU-Prolog version: 1.3.1

The Japanese Windows system encoding (= Shift_JIS) includes such a 2-byte character:

   '\x95\\\'  i.e.  name('\x95\\\',[149,92]).

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
But you can NOT open the file with the file name '\x95\\\.txt', for example,

   test(C) :- see('\x95\\\.txt'),get0(C),seen.

uncaught exception: error(existence_error(source_sink,'\x95\\\.txt'),see/1)

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
In contrast, you CAN open the file with the file name '\x95\[.txt'  i.e. name('\x95\[',[149,91]).

   test(C) :- see('\x95\[.txt'), get0(C), seen.

   C = 97     in case you wrote the character 'a' in the file.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
PS.　　The characters have the following appearance on Windows system:
'\x95\\\'　 =　　'表'.
'\x95\['　   =　　'票'.
But I think you cannot view the character appearance on your French or English Operating System.
