As I've previously stated, the change was made some time ago to make cygwin ignore the mount table when it sees a Windows path. This is so that people will not be confused when they specify Windows paths. Since the use of a backslash has no meaning on UNIX I don't see this as a terrible thing. That means that /tmp is not necessarily equal to \tmp. cgf
