On my old 32-bit Win7 box running Cygwin 1.7.26, I have an executable script that is intended to be symlinked to and executed as the symlink name.  This works fine.

On my new 64-bit Win7 box running Cygwin 1.7.29, I created the symlink using "ln -s" as before.  When I try to execute the script through the symlink, it fails to find it in the path.  The script itself has the rx bits set.  I can execute the script directly, although it doesn't do anything useful.

I didn't see anything obvious in the FAQ or obvious searches.
