This is a strange problem:  certain files in the Windows/System32
directory are not visible from Cygwin:

    Studio(27): ls /cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/nbtstat.exe
    ls: cannot access /cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/nbtstat.exe: No
such file or directory

But other ones are:

    Studio(28): ls /cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/PING.EXE
    /cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/PING.EXE

The system in question is Windows 7 64-bit (service pack 1), running
Cygwin 1.7.9-1.  I've tried it with and without user access control
enabled, but it doesn't make a difference.  CYGWIN is set to
"nodosfilewarning tty".

The problematic file (nbtstat.exe) most definitely exists and can be
run from a DOS prompt window.

Any ideas?  Thanks!
