  Right, but the output of mount claims this has no effect on
  the actual mounts. And certainly as the other user (that
  has an HKEY_USERS entry) I certainly see /bin and /usr/bin
  as the same directory, and I don't see what is in
  c:\cygwin\usr\bin at all. [These points are not a contradicition
  to what you're saying, just reiterating the facts.]

  I would agree with that. It appears to me that setup fails to see
  the system mounts that cygwin sees. -Norton
