Hello!

I am having incorrect results from 'cygpath -w':

### I have the cygwin root directory in C:\cygwin64, as confirmed by 
'cmd':
$ cmd
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22621.674]
(c) Microsoft Corporation. Med enerett.

C:\cygwin64\home\Enrique>exit

### Cygwin thinks my home directory is:
$ pwd
/home/Enrique

### But 'cygpath -w' thinks ...
$ cygpath -w /home/Enrique
C:\Users\Enrique\anaconda3\Library\home\Enrique

### Investigating, I found that there is no 'home' in 
C:\Users\Enrique\anaconda3\Library.
### Then I discovered this:
$ mount
C:/Users/Enrique/anaconda3/Library on / type ntfs (binary,noacl,auto)
C:/Users/Enrique/anaconda3/Library/usr/bin on /bin type ntfs 
(binary,noacl,auto)
C: on /cygdrive/c type ntfs (binary,noacl,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)

Huh ??? How does this work?
Is there a way to hide the mounts done by anaconda?

I guess some anaconda binaries want to find the 'Library' directory as 
the root, but cygwin continues to find its own root under C:/cygwin64. 
Why does it get tripped by the anaconda install just when doing the path 
translation?
