Yes - I would have thought this would work -- but neither rebooting
nor stopping all cygwin processes and shells serves to get my fstab
read.
I need to manually run 'mount -a' each time -- which completes without errors.
I know I didn't need to do this in Cygwin 1.7 x86.
I am now running Cygwin 1.7.25 x64

Any thought on what could be preventing fstab from working
automagically.
