I just installed cygwin 1.7 on a computer in which one of the usernames 
has a space in it.  The first time the user ran Cygwin.bat, she got an 
error message involving fstab.  (She doesn't remember the precise error 
message.)  I checked /etc/fstab.d and found that no fstab had been 
created for her.  I created it manually, and the next time she ran 
Cygwin.bat there was no error message.  I'm guessing that the space in 
her username was the problem.
