Regretfully, cygwin1.dll v1.3.6-1 doesn't work correctly on my systems (I use more than one).
Attempting to start a bash shell displays "bash.exe: warning: could not find /tmp, please create!". The environment seems completely trashed - no cygwin executables or bash builtins work correctly (i.e. mount, ls, cd, etc). I have determined that this is most likely because I have used the "mount -c" option to re-map "cygdrive" as "/" - this meant I could go to specific drives as "/c", "/d", etc - perhaps not the best way to implement this, but it did work well until now. I have verified this by using "mount -c /cygdrive" from a C:\ prompt to reset back to original behaviour, and bash now starts and works correctly. Should this be considered a bug in v1.3.6-1, or a "feature", or simply listed as a caveat (i.e. DON'T map /cygdrive to /). I could create individual mappings (/c, /d, etc) for the drives I use most frequently - but to be honest, mapping cygdrive as / was good as my drive letters on the LAN are very flexible and dynamic. Thanks for the good work so far, however!
