I'm running jobs under my account.
Note that these jobs worked fine before I updated to the latest
cygwin1.dll version. I've put the 26 June snapshot cygwin1.dll file back
in use and the jobs work.
Test jobs show that $HOME is being set to / when the cron job works.
$HOME is set correctly for bash sessions run interactively via rxvt or
whatever.

I'll see what I can do.
I guess that as no-one else has said anything on this thread that I am
alone with this problem?
Regards,
Tony.
