This might be related - "echo $(pwd)" outputs just a newline.
I first observed this in winsup-19991205, but I have not even begun to
look.
This was built on NT4sp5 + cygwin B20.1 + Mumit's gcc 2.95 +
winsup-19991204.


BTW, winsup/Makefile refers to /bin/true, but that's not where mine was
('tis now).
Should we try to follow the FHS where possible?

Cheers
