Setting CYGWIN to "tty notraverse" at least works
around the problem. The new install was of course,
1.5.13, while the old (and on a previous parallel
install on an identical machine) was 1.5.12. I ended
up uninstalling and reinstalling as user, which of
course did not fix the problem.

Is that through windows? I did go (as user) to the e:
properties-security-advanced where everyone was
allowed full control of everything, and also clicked
the "Reset permissions on all child objects..." box,
where it told me "e:\System volume information ...
access is denied". Is that where the solution is?
This was just before setting CYGWIN to notraverse, and
did not change anything.
While in cygwin, I get the following:
$ ls -ld /cygdrive
dr-xr-xr-x 11 0 root 0 Dec 31 1969 /cygdrive
$ ls -ld /cygdrive/*
drwxrwxrwx+ 33 Administrators root 12288 Mar 8 11:12

/cygdrive/p
drwxr-xr-x 1 cwinne None 0 Mar 4 13:49
/cygdrive/q
Is it then /cygdrive that needs to be reset -- except
that it allowed access to c (as well as j k l p & q).
In any case, many thanks. I am new to windows (and
thus cygwin), and it is nice to have some familiar
tools.
