Subject: auctex can only see .tex files in HOME directory

I recently updated my Cygwin distribution and now aucTeX will only
work on documents (i.e. .tex files) in my HOME directory.  If I use
LaTeX from the Cygwin shell then things work fine, as they did before I
installed the updated distribution.  (I.e. I can LaTeX files in their local
directories).

I know very little about emacs-lisp, but I have identified the lines

(list "LaTeX" "%l '\\nonstopmode\\input{%t}'"
      'TeX-run-LaTeX nil t) 

in my tex-site.el file as the lines that auctex uses to run the latex
command from within emacs.  In the good old days, %t would expand to
(path to local directory)/filename.tex.  Now it just expands to
filename.tex, without the path.  

Does anyone have any idea 
1) what setup.exe could have changed to make auctex stop working
correctly?
2) What I have to do to make auctex and cygwin play nice together again?

My data:
Computer:  sony vaio laptop, PIII

           on January 31 2002.
Previous Cygwin distribution (when everything worked fine)
      :    whatever setup.exe distributed August 2001.

The error message I get in auctex:
