I'm aware of that.  And I exited out of my cygwin window (the only
thing I had running, since I run no Cygwin services) and went back in
after making the edit.  However, considering that I could already see
/usr/bin before I made the change, and my bash prompt was still
screwed up, I don't think that was the problem, somehow.  Though there
was only one line in my fstab...is it still looking at the 1.5-era
registry entries, perhaps?
