		If you use this syntax, it tries to find a machine named
"c", because
		this is the syntax for an NFS path:
<machine>:/<remote-path> :)
		Why don't you use //c/winnt/system32, which is the
correct syntax ?


Aha!  This is the clue I've been searching for. When I run vim and I
write a file, if $PWD is a directory mounted as name with a colon it
takes few seconds to write with the following conditions:

from a shortcut running d:\cygnus\b19\h-i386-cygwin32\bin\bash.exe
-rcfile nul: with Start in: c:\
$ mount | grep d:
d:               /d                  native      text=binary
$ cd /d
$ vim /testfile		<= this takes seven seconds to save
$ cd /
$ umount /d
$ //d/Cygnus/B19/H-i386-cygwin32/bin/mount -b d: /d      <= oops,
unmounted /usr/bin
$ cd /d
$ vim /testfile		<= this saves instantly!

Am I doing something stupid, or is there a fundamental problem here?
