Quite possibly. Try this:

--- lib/db/dbmi_base/dbmscap.c	(revision 39364)
+++ lib/db/dbmi_base/dbmscap.c	(working copy)
@@ -175,6 +175,7 @@

 			   + strlen(G_gisbase()) + strlen(ent->d_name) + 1);
 	sprintf(dirpath, "\"%s\\driver\\db\\%s\"", G_gisbase(), ent->d_name);
+	G_convert_dirseps_to_host(dirpath);
 #else
 	G_asprintf(&dirpath, "\"%s/driver/db/%s\"", G_gisbase(), ent->d_name);
 #endif
