Subject:	Odd mount and path problem

Ok, I've spent days trying to work around this problem and more days 
searching the web for solutions, but to no avail.

The basic problem is that I 'cd' to a directory and programs in my path, 
like 'ls' stop working with a "bash: /bin/ls: No such file or directory" 
error message.

The specifics:

Here's the mount table:

d:\cygwin\home on /home type system (binmode)
\cygwin\sbin on /sbin type system (binmode)
\cygwin\bin on /bin type system (binmode)
\cygwin\etc on /etc type system (binmode)
\cygwin\lib on /lib type system (binmode)
\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
\cygwin\tmp on /tmp type system (binmode)
\cygwin\usr on /usr type system (binmode)
\cygwin\var on /var type system (binmode)
C: on /c type system (binmode)
D: on / type system (binmode)
u: on /cygdrive/u type system (binmode,noumount)

Here's my PATH:

/usr/bin:/bin:D:/LE/cyberle/tools/Jikes:/Tools/bin:
/JDK1.3/bin:/c/WINDOWS/system32:/c/WINDOWS:
/c/Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/80/Tools/Binn:/vslick/win:.


If I am anywhere on the D drive, like in / or /cygwin or anything other 
than /c, things work ok.  When I cd to /c, and type 'ls' I get this:

     bash: /bin/ls: No such file or directory

More fully, no commands from /bin will work any more.  It's as if the 
/bin directory is no longer available.  Fully qualifying the command 
works, sort of:

    /bin/ls         does not work
    /cygwin/bin/ls  does work


If anyone has a solution or an idea to try, I'm open :-)


P.S. I am not using the normal installation settings where /cygwin is 
mounted as / since I have a lot of other directories at the top of my D 
drive that I want to access from within cygwin.

P.P.S: In case this will help, here's the initial output from cygcheck:
