Thank you Corinna for looking into this.

So I tried rebuilding cygwin1.dll in 1.7 with gcc-4 from the
instructions in http://cygwin.com/cvs.html and
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.programming.html#faq.programming.building-cygwin,
and while the make didn't finish (perl hung -- "... fatal error -
unable to remap  ...\Glob.dll to same address as parent ..."), it did
produce new-cygwin1.dll.  And with that new-cygwin1.dll installed as
/bin/cygwin1.dll, I now get:

     $ cygpath -w image.png
     e.png

That is, the first four characters are missing.

So my next question is how should I be rebuilding the 1.7 cygwin1.dll?

     - Greg
