I am not sure, that this was fixed correctly. Consider:

mw1g017 AT MW1G17C% ls -l d:bash.strace
-rw-r--r--   1 mw1g017  ITS       7828140 Oct 11 20:09 d:bash.strace
mw1g017 AT MW1G17C% pwd
/cygdrive/d/temp
mw1g017 AT MW1G17C% cygpath -a -u d:bash.strace
/cygdrive/d/bash.strace
mw1g017 AT MW1G17C% ls -l /cygdrive/d/bash.strace
ls: /cygdrive/d/bash.strace: No such file or directory

The x:path is treated by Windows as "relative to current directory of drive
x". Instead, cygpath treats it as "relative to root directory of drive x". See
the difference?

BTW windows path as reported by cygpath is also wrong:

mw1g017 AT MW1G17C% cygpath -a -w d:bash.strace
d:bash.strace

This is not an absolute path.
