For everyone else, I don't claim that cygwin is buggy (although it might be the case). I just trying to understand what's going on and how to solve my very problems. Randall's advice to add CYGWIN=noglob _partially_ solves them (yes, really, it makes 2 BS sufficient then 'bash -c "ls c:\\"' is called via syscall CreateProcess()). But: How to write the following command with _backslashes_ to make it work? Suppose we launch it from bash: bash-2.05$ bash -c "ls c:\\\\cygwin\\\\bin\\\\ls.exe" c:\cygwin\bin\ls.exe bash-2.05$ bash -c "c:\\\\cygwin\\\\bin\\\\ls.exe" bash: c:\cygwin\bin\ls.exe: command not found bash-2.05$ CYGWIN=noglob does _not_ help. How many backslahes should I put there? But please check that it _really_ works before answering.
