Thank you very much, now cygpath doesn't crash anymore.

But is it necessary, that cygpath gives the error message:
cygpath: error converting "/ddd...ddd" - File or path name too long  ?
When i think of cygpath as a tool to convert strings, then it should work
with paths of arbitrary length.
Is this possible?
