Hello cygwin,

  If run cygwin from cmd.exe from random directory, for example, from
  "c:\blablabla", then after login OLDPWD would be "/usr/bin" instead
  original directory. So command cd "$OLDPWD" just after login
  restores wrong directory. This is because batch file has been wroten
  incorrectly.
  This is correct:
  
  "%~dp0bin\bash" --login -i

Best regards,
 Andry                          mailto:andry AT inbox DOT ru
