bug#31079: Windows - Emacs-25.3.1 Can't find source.tex file

[Liyu Gong]

Hi Joe,

It said "/d", not "/d/"

My emacs is download exactly the same address of yours. I mentioned
cygwin because you said I should see something like "/cygdrive/d/"
after pwd, and that's path is a cygwin path.

I just tried the old version (11.91.0). The output of "C-c C-c Other"
with pdflatex is:

Running `Other' on `aa' with ``pdflatex aa.tex''
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.18 (TeX Live 2017/W32TeX)

and the output of "C-c C-c Other" with "pwd" is:

Running `Other' on `aa' with ``pwd''
/d

It seems the output of "pwd" is the same as the newest version.

Thanks,
Liyu
