Could it be related to the strange fact that my numeric user id
suddenly has changed from 400 to 121833?

One more note regarding the recreation of /etc/passwd: The inclusion
of -d -u USERNAME now has the somewhat annoying side effect, that for
example my homedirectory is now not printed as /cygdrive/h like before,
but in network drive notation:

$ pwd
//MUCSDN03/FischRon/.ssh

Of course, I can still access it as /cygdrive/h, so it is not a
functional
problem. Still I wonder whether it would be so bad to go back to the
old version of /etc/passwd, where my homedirectory is listed as
/cygdrive/h
and everything else being equal....
