The problem you're describing is the result of a thinko when I revamped the PATH finding functionality in Cygwin a couple of days ago. I fixed that in CVS. I will upload a new developer snapshot for testing to https://cygwin.com/snapshots/ later today. > Is anyone else experiencing this?

You *did* notice that 1.7.35 is a *test* release, did you? Fortunately you actually tested it before it was released :) The actual official stable release is 1.7.34, and it's of course not affected by this problem.
