Greetings, Andy Koppe!

> This might be the same issue as a couple of previous unresolved
> reports with the same error message, but I'm not sure, so here's a new
> thread.

> Steps to reproduce:
> - On Windows 7, install 64-bit Cygwin into C:\cygwin, and let it
> create a desktop shortcut.
> - Edit /etc/fstab to change the cygdrive prefix to /.
> - Double click 'Cygwin64 Terminal' desktop shortcut.

> Result: a bunch of errors before the bash prompt.

> shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access
> parent directories: Bad file descriptor
> job-working-directory: error retrieving current directory: getcwd:
> cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
> job-working-directory: error retrieving current directory: getcwd:
> cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
> job-working-directory: error retrieving current directory: getcwd:
> cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
> chdir: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access
> parent directories: No error

> The errors remain if the shortcut target is changed from invoking
> mintty to invoking bash directly: 'C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -l'.

> The errors go away if 'C:\cygwin\bin' is put into the shortcut's
> otherwise empty 'Start In' field. (But they stay if 'C:\' is put there
> instead.)

> They also go away if the cygdrive prefix is changed to anything but
> the root directory.

> I couldn't reproduce the issue with a 32-bit install.

Been there, done that.

Unfortunately, the pending new VM setup was cancelled, and I've had no time to
get around to test this issue again.
