cd d:\a[1]                   " or any other sub directory of d:\a[1]
gvim --remote-silent  d:\a[1]\aa.txt
it reports:
E344: Can't find directory "d:/a/[1]/a" in cdpath
E472: Command failed

I found this bug in VIM7.0b and VIM7.0c03, someone reported
this also existed in VIM7.0 final version.

It seems this code snippet is not right (VIM7.0c03):
main.c:3539:build_drop_cmd()
3537     if (mch_dirname(cwd, MAXPATHL) != OK)
3538         return NULL;
3539     if ((p = vim_strsave_escaped_ext(cwd, PATH_ESC_CHARS, '\\',
TRUE)) == NULL)
3540         return NULL;
3541     ga_init2(&ga, 1, 100);
3542     ga_concat(&ga, (char_u *)"<C-\\><C-N>:cd ");
3543     ga_concat(&ga, p);
3544     vim_free(p);

mch_dirname() returns "d:\a[1]", vim_strsave_escaped_ext() returns
"d:\a\[1]" (I don't know why '[' is contained in PATH_ESC_CHARS),
so we get a ":cd d:\a\[1]" command with ga_concat() in line 3543.
At last, misc2.c:5384:find_file_in_path_option() reports the error above.

I'm not familiar with the code, so I hope someone can give a perfect patch:-)
