Subject: After upgrading to latest Cygwin, "ls /c/" works, but not "ls /e/
	"

I have drives "C" and "E".  Before upgrading this morning, I was at version
1.3.2.  After upgrading, I can do "ls /c/" to see the contents of my C
drive.  However, doing "ls /e/" says "No such file or directory".  Both
"/cygdrive/c" and "/cygdrive/e" work.

My mount output is:

C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type user (binmode,noumount)
e: on /cygdrive/e type user (binmode,noumount)

I scanned the archives for something about this, but I couldn't find
anything.  I noticed the FAQ entry "How can I access other drives", which
gave me some things to try.

I then tried the following:

% mount -s e: /e
mount: warning - /e does not exist.

Then I did this:

% mkdir /e
mkdir: cannot create directory `/e': File exists

and then:

% ls /e
{files in "e:/"}

That is, it listed the files in "e:/".  I then tried the original "/e/" and
that also worked.

Also note this:

% ls /c
/c@

Whereas "ls /e" listed "e:/".

Could someone explain what I'm seeing here?
