Hi, I've had the same problem as Ryan, and I have had to roll back to cygwin 1.3.5 as well. I can tell you that the problem has something to do with /cygdrive: what I have found is that visiting a file whose path begins with /cygdrive using C-x C-f, or using "File->Open..." on a directory that has been mapped to Windows drive where cygwin provides access to the drive via /cygdrive, does not work.
If you mount a directory to something other than /cygdrive (e.g. directly underneath /) then it seems OK. On the Xemacs lists: go to http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-nt/200112/threads.html and search in the page for for 'cygwin'. There has also been some confusion in the cygwin mailing list with another problem to do with file completion in bash: see http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-12/msg00175.html . Fixing the shell file completion problem has NOT fixed the xemacs problem (although Christopher Faylor's thinking that it it might was not unreasonable). I don't know whether the problem is with cygwin or xemacs, but this is an unfortunate thing to happen to two fantastic software projects that ought to work seamlessly with each other. I hope that the relevant people on the cygwin and xemacs teams will put their heads together and figure this out as quickly as possible.
