That's what I thought, but the command that's being run doesn't have an
MSDOS path except as an argument to the script that bash couldn't find:


C:\Users\andy>C:\cygwin\bin\bash -c "/bin/xhere /bin/bash.exe 'd:\我的工作'"

              ^ That's ok, cmd sees that one.

                                     ^ bash should try to find xhere

But we first get the warning:

---
cygwin warning:
  MS-DOS style path detected: /bin/xhere /bin/bash.exe 'd:\鎴戠殑宸ヤ綔'
  Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /bin/xhere /bin/bash.exe 'd:/鎴戠殑宸ヤ綔'
...
----

Note that it complains about xhere, bash and d:\xxx in one string. And
finally we get a can't find 'xhere bash d:\xxx':

---
/usr/bin/bash: /bin/xhere /bin/bash.exe 'd:\我的工作': No such file or
directory

Dave.
