Yeah, it is that strange "suddenly the output from a command is completely
different" problem. It is a well known computer problem. I struggle with
it constantly. A few months ago the "ls" command was actually just downloading
transcripts of the Rush Limbaugh program rather than displaying the files in
my directory.
I tracked this down to a problem in the cygwin DLL. The opendir/readdir calls
were inadvertently picking up AM radio signals. Once I added some software
filters, everything was ok.
In this case it is difficult to say what caused the problem other than my
efforts to make the mount command output in a more UNIX like fashion. I
suggest that you write some kind of simple shell script filter if you want
to get the old tabular behavior.
