When starting from a non-Cygwin process, the argv array is evaluated
from the Windows command line.  Part of it is globifying arguments
and creating file lists when necessary (since the Windows parent will
not do it for the Cygwin process.  This globifying code was not
multibyte aware.  That should be fixed now in CVS.
