Subject: cygstart.exe can't open file:///C:/

cygstart‘s manpage says it’s similar to the Windows command-line start command.
It is indeed able to open http://example.com in the default browser.
However, cygstart file:///C:/ results in an error message:
Unable to start 'C:\cygwin\c\': The specified file was not found.
The Windows start command opens file:///C:/ links in the default
browser without a hitch.
