Subject:	Strange Bash Problem

I'm seeing strange errors from a bash shell using the B20.1 release.

Here's the situation:
1) The DOS path G:\ is mounted at /cygdrive/g
2) My current directory is 3 subdirectories from the root, though I've
seen it with any number (/cygdrive/g/a/b/c).
3) There is a shell script I want to execute in the parent directory
(/cygdrive/g/a/b/script)

The Problem:
From the directory /cygdirve/g/a/b/c if I type the following at the bash
prompt:
../script

I get the following error message:
../../script: Can't open ../../script

If I move down another level, and type
../../script

I get the following error message:
../../../../script: Can't open ../../../../script

Whatever relative path I add gets doubled.  If I specify the absolute
path:
/cygdrive/g/a/b/script
then everything works.

Has anyone seen this behavior before and know how to fix it?
