[racket] reliable path comparison?

Hi,
i think that the problem is the \ character, because this works :
#lang racket
(equal? (regexp-replace* "\\\\" (path->string (build-path "C:\\")) "/")
        (regexp-replace* "\\\\" (path->string (build-path "C:\\")) "/"))

and returns true

have a nice day,
