Shortly after updating vista to service pack 2, Cygwin broke.  It can't 
find anything.  The bash shell launches to /cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin.  No 
commands work, except for pwd and cd. If I invoke env by ./env (the only 
way it works) I get:

bash-3.2$ ./env

I tried a complete uninstall and reinstall but have the same problem.  I 
used to have /home/strannik as a home directory.  I could go back to 
that or use the C:\User\strannik, but I can't figure out how to get 
either one.

Any idea what could have gone wrong, or what to look for?
(TIA)
