I meant a C:\Cygwin\dev directory. Such directory doesn't exist, right?

There's no error in it. Did you try `ls -l /dev/null'? It should
print a character device node entry as on Linux. If not, please
send another strace of such an `ls -l /dev/null'. Otherwise, try
the `ls > /dev/null' in bash again. If that still fails, try
`bash -c "ls > /dev/null"'. If that fails, send an strace of that
command.
That's puzzeling. I never saw a failure on using /dev/null before.
