Thanks for the report.

I've just checked my x86_64 and x86 installation. Things are working on 
my installation as I have c:\cygwin\bin on my standard windows path. 
When I remove it and invoke fish, I get the errors that you highlight. 
Similarly when echo'ing $PATH under the broken fish, /usr/bin is not one 
of the entries.

I need to have a play around to see how I can fix this, but I thought 
cygwin prepended /usr/bin to the path...


Regards,

Dave.
