bug with profiling things with "strange" filename

[Mike Thomas]

Hi Hal.

5.04 profiled executables (-prof -auto-all) on Windows just crash on takeoff
with or without a dot in their name (ie even without a .exe extension).
This is substantially different to the behaviour of HEAD a few days before
release of 5.04, which only crashed when fed heap profiling arguments.

Cheers

Mike Thomas
