I'm sorry for the completely lame response of mine.  I'll be more
specific.  The cygpath.exe program works the same for both local and
remote shells.  It gives the same response each time.  Since the
meproc.exe program runs properly on the local shell, I have to assume
that the cygpath.exe program is converting the path correctly.  I'm
not exactly sure how to tell if the meproc.exe program is running "at
all".  There is a delay, and then I get another prompt.  Running
the meproc.exe program with other arguments gives me the same results.

When I run the meproc.exe program without arguments with truss, it
returns errno 53.  I don't know what Cygwin uses errno 53 for, but
FreeBSD uses it for ECONNABORT, which doesn't make much sense.

Jack.
