For example, I just tried $ vi /tmp/oz (hangs, ^C aborts) $ export PATH=/bin:/mentor/bin:/usr/local/bin $ vi /tmp/oz /mentor/bin/: /mentor/bin/: Permission Denied $ /mentor/bin/vi /tmp/oz (throws me into vim as expected) A find of cygwin find no other cygwin dll's in the path. My cygwinb19.dll is a copy of the new b20 dll.
