I sent a lengthy email with all the detailed shell outputs earlier but it was blocked by spam filter. :-( I'll try an executive summary, also because I don't have that much time right now.

Same for output of "env" without arguments invoked from Windows prompt. The dot is also not there in the windows path. My summary so far 1. There is nothing in the Windows PATH (neither system, nor user, nor what's combined at the prompt) that looks like a cause for dot (i.e. empty path). 1. not all cygwin programs show the dot at the end of $PATH 2. only bash invoked as bash shows it - it's not shown when invoked as sh.exe C:\Users\rklemme>C:\cygwin64\bin\bash.exe --version GNU bash, version 4.1.11(2)-release (x86_64-unknown-cygwin) Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
