That explains the mystery. Thanks!

Use of 'Cygnus' refers to 20+ years ago when Cygwin was a product.
So, it might have been working quite "recently" then :)
Hard to say why Oracle's script is written this way. Standard Cygwin
tool for file names conversion is cygpath. Instead of using sed, one
can write WL_HOME_CYGWIN=`cygpath -u $WL_HOME`
- simpler and the result will be more consistent. Example
$ WL_HOME='C:\some\dir\subdir' # Windows path $ echo
"$WL_HOME" | sed "s#\([a-zA-Z]\):#/cygdrive/c/\1#g"
/cygdrive/c/C\some\dir\subdir # mixed forward and back
slashes $ cygpath -u "$WL_HOME"
/cygdrive/c/some/dir/subdir # pretty Cygwin path
Especially note the cygpath -U -> /proc/cygdrive/, -a -> /..., and -p path
conversion options should be used as appropriate: try all three!
Cygpath then is the correct approach to resolve this issue. I had no doubt
about that. Anyway, this is not the only problem. They have messed the
CLASSPATH as well and it needs to be updated to the correct libraries.
If you have an Oracle support contract, please submit a TAR, and attach any
patches you make, to upstream support, to avoid having to keep making changes
every update.
