DJ,

Conjecturing on this, the M: is mapped to \\engineering-nt\Users and because
the command `mount //m/cygnus /' was used cygwin did a good job of finding the
real path and the routines that handle the character quoting was passed
\\engineering-nt\Users\Cygwin and returned \engineering-ntUsersCygwin which was
placed in the data field of the registry.
