Subject: Failed assertion in path.cc (path_conv::check)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

The following statement:

char * tmp_path =
    (char *) cygwin_create_path (CCP_POSIX_TO_WIN_A, newargz[0]);

Results in this error popup (and a coredump), when newargz[0] is NULL. 
Sure, it's a bug in my program to do that...but shouldn't it be handled 
more gracefully?  Like...return a NULL, rather than SIGABRT?

Failed assertion
