Thanks for the testcase!  The problem you're describing is the result of
a thinko when I revamped the PATH finding functionality in Cygwin a
couple of days ago.  I fixed that in CVS.  I will upload a new developer
snapshot for testing to https://cygwin.com/snapshots/ later today.

You *did* notice that 1.7.35 is a *test* release, did you?

Fortunately you actually tested it before it was released :)

The actual official stable release is 1.7.34, and it's of course
not affected by this problem.


Thanks,
Corinna
