Sorry, but I can't reproduce this.  I've tested on a fully updated 2008
64 bit machine, with Cygwin 1.7.28, in 32 and 64 bit, and there's no
such message for me.

This is one of those problems which gets apparently introduced by some
hotfix which is not part of the normal update procedure, and I can't
change this code unless I can reproduce the problem.

If somebody can reproduce this on the existing Windows versions, and
this somebody feels not too repelled by plunging into assembler
debugging ntdll.dll, mainly the function RtlGetCurrentDirectory_U and=20
a subsequently called noname function, and compares what happens with
the Cygwin function find_fast_cwd_pointer() in path.cc, please feel
free to submit patches.

Btw., what OS version *exactly* are you encountering this problem?
Please send the output of `cygcheck -svr' as requested in
http://cygwin.com/problems.html.
