Using Bash 2.05.0(8) under Cygwin 1.3.1-1, a shell script named the same
as a program in c:\winnt\system32 is not executed, even if it is in a
directory that appears ahead of /cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32 in the value
of PATH.  To reproduce:

bash$ hash -r
bash$ type -a ipconfig
ipconfig is /cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32/ipconfig
bash$ ipconfig
