Hi, I invoked "cygpath -u" with an empty string by mistyping a quoted environment variable name. It produced 10 garbage characters:
% cygpath -u ""
\š a\š a
% cygpath -u "" |od -c
0000000 \ 232 \t a \ 232 \t a 020 \n
0000012
These characters appear not to change across several invocations.
% cygcheck -v cygpath.exe

% cygcheck -s -v >cygcheck-s-v-out
cygcheck: dump_sysinfo: GetVolumeInformation() failed: 1
cygcheck-s-v-out is attached. (I left it in DOS text format, as it came
from cygcheck.)
If more information is required or if someone would like me to perform any
tests, just let me know.
