Yes, I mount /bin as -X.  My earlier report showed that the command line
length was not a problem when I used echo (since it is a bash builtin, no
fork is involved) nor with /bin/echo (since it was executable-mounted); I
had to use /cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin/echo to expose the bug by circumventing
the /bin mount point.
