Thank you for your report.

Does it work with forward slashes, like this:

   //server/software/file.txt

?

This backtrace is not useful.  I think you are in the wrong thread.

Could you please type "info threads" and then switch to each one of
them (with "thread N", where N is the thread number displayed in the
1st column of what "info threads" presents), and find the main thread,
where the backtrace goes up to the `main' function?  That's the
backtrace we want to see.

TIA
