No.  The problem we're talking about here is a regression and needs
fixing, no doubt about it.

I was just saying that win32 paths *in general* get a less complete
treatment than POSIX paths for hopefully obvious reasons.  Just be
aware that \foo\bar is not the same as /foo/bar and may even point
to another file.

As for the bug in question:  I pushed a patch which should fix this
issue.  I created new developer snapshots and uploaded them to
https://cygwin.com/snapshots/.  Please give them a try.


Thanks,
Corinna
