Sometimes I'm not good at interpreting hints. Let's see - Google didn't find
me anything. The FAQ doesn't seem to help. So I think the hint is telling me
to include cygcheck output, which I will now do.
http://old.nabble.com/file/p34007924/cygcheck.out cygcheck.out 

By the way, the response to the mount command now looks like

rw AT seven ~
$ mount
C:/cygwin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,user)
C:/cygwin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,user)
C:/cygwin on / type ntfs (binary,auto)
C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
D: on /cygdrive/d type ntfs (binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)

rw AT seven ~
$

I note that another cygwin installation has (binary,auto) instead of
(binary,user) for the two mounts in question.
