Subject: problem with cygpath.exe (1.3.18-1) when using ant 1.4.1

Hi I recently upgraded my Cygwin to 1.3.18-1 (on Win 2K SP1) and am now
noticing interrmittent failures from cygpath.

When I run ant I sometimes get the following error, other times it works
fine(!):

$ ant -version
C:\cygwin\bin\cygpath.exe: *** can't create title mutex, Win32 error 6
Error: JAVA_HOME is not defined correctly.
  We cannot execute java

hanleyd AT UKDB002443 /tools/assembler
$ echo $JAVA_HOME
c:\jdk1.3.1

hanleyd AT UKDB002443 /tools/assembler
$ export JAVA_HOME=/cygwin/c/jdk1.3.1

hanleyd AT UKDB002443 /tools/assembler
$ echo $JAVA_HOME
/cygwin/c/jdk1.3.1

hanleyd AT UKDB002443 /tools/assembler
$ ant -version
C:\cygwin\bin\cygpath.exe: *** can't create title mutex, Win32 error 6
Error: JAVA_HOME is not defined correctly.
  We cannot execute java


The offending line in the ant script seems to be:
JAVA_HOME=`cygpath --unix "$JAVA_HOME"`

but when I execute this from the commandline all is well:
$ echo JAVA_HOME=`cygpath --unix "$JAVA_HOME"`
JAVA_HOME=/cygdrive/c/jdk1.3.1


afaik nothing else has changed apart from upgrading Cygwin, has anyone else
experienced this? Or have any pointers as to what I should be looking at?

Regards
Dan
