Hi

I found a strange behaviour of the program cygpath program

0 >cygpath -w "./*/*"           <--- IMHO wrong output
  \

0 >cygpath -w "./*/*"  | od -a                   <--- a detailed dump
0000000   o nul   *   \   o nul   *  nl
0000010

0 >cygpath -wp "./*/*"         <-- but this works as expected
*\*

Is this bug or expected behavior ?

Pls, answer to me in To:, I'm not a permanent member of the cygwin email 
list.

I found it during assembly of the Java CLASSPATH variable, which may 
contain the "*" character at the end to cover all .jar in the specified 
directory.

Tomas
