if you consider the simple script

---------------------
#!/bin/bash
echo $0
-----------------------

the line do give normally the exact text you use to execute the command
(see the man pages of bash). but, on cygwin, we have, when executed from
a distant directory by a relative call, the absolute name. So we can't
use this name to return from the local directory to where this command
was launched.

is it a known bug, is it nominal ?

thanks for your great work
