Subject: Bash fails to source .bashrc after upgrade to cygwin 1.3.6-1

I upgraded my system to cygwin 1.3.6-1.  (I shut down all running
Cygwin apps first).  Then, when I started bash, instead of grinding
away for a few seconds (processing my .bashrc, which is big), it
immediately printed 

        bash.exe: warning: could not find /tmp, please create!
        bash-2.05a$

I typed `mount', but it complained that there was no program named
`mount'.  The PATH variable looked OK, so perhaps it had failed to
properly mount its directories.

I re-ran setup, and reverted to the previous version (1.3.5), and now
everything works fine.

What's odd is that I was able to do a clean install of 1.3.6-1, from
the same binaries, onto a different machine, and that worked fine.

What should I do to investigate?
