Yesterday morning I posted a query about 'ls' seeing /usr/lib as a
proper Cygwin directory using one pathname and as a DOS/Windows
directory (absent the mounted /lib contents) with what I thought was
an equivalent pathname.  Perhaps it was overlooked in all the P.D.
hoopla.

To add to what I posted before, the first command below shows the
appropriate contents of /usr/lib; the second shows what Windows
Explorer sees in D:\cygwin-v11x\usr\lib.  The same behavior holds
for the other mounted dirs, except for /d/cygwin-v11x/.

This looks like a bug.

Is this expected behavior?  If different behaviors were to be expected,
I'd think the different results would be the inverse. ;-)

Regards,
Doug Wyatt
