No, this is the actual name of the home directory when you start `Cygwin.bat` using the SYSTEM account. To reproduce, I ran `PsExec64.exe -s -i cmd` and then `C:\Cygwin64\Cygwin.bat` in that command prompt (after verifying that `whoami` prints `nt authority\system`). The Bash prompt then says `SYSTEM@<hostname>`, and `echo $HOME` reports `/home/SYSTEM`. Ciao, Johannes
