Hi Andrew,
This keeps showing up, and it is to do with UNIX and WIN32 filesystem
confusion.

You do not _HAVE_TO_ `create /bin' to `mount -b
//d/Cygnus/B19/H-i386-cygwin32/bin /bin'. If you do, you have two
totally unrelated directories. The cygwin mount command doesn't care
if d:\bin exists or not. All you are doing is creating a logical
directory to relate to a physical directory which is stored in the
Win32 Registry.
