Randall, of course it's up to you whether to answer or not. Nonetheless,
thank you for your comments. For everyone else, I don't claim that cygwin
is buggy (although it might be the case). I just trying to understand
what's going on and how to solve my very problems. Randall's advice to add
CYGWIN=noglob _partially_ solves them (yes, really, it makes 2 BS
sufficient then 'bash -c "ls c:\\"' is called via syscall
CreateProcess()). But:

How to write the following command with _backslashes_ to make it work?
Suppose we launch it from bash:

bash-2.05$ bash -c "ls c:\\\\cygwin\\\\bin\\\\ls.exe"
c:\cygwin\bin\ls.exe
bash-2.05$ bash -c "c:\\\\cygwin\\\\bin\\\\ls.exe"
bash: c:\cygwin\bin\ls.exe: command not found
bash-2.05$

CYGWIN=noglob does _not_ help.

How many backslahes should I put there?
But please check that it _really_ works before answering.

Hope to hear from you soon,
Dmitry
