Cygwin's type command (built into bash.exe) does not work for executables that are under a directory that has spaces.
Well, it seems to work OK for me: --- 501 $ mkdir /foo\ bar 502 $ touch /foo\ bar/baz 503 $ chmod a+x /foo\ bar/baz 504 $ PATH=/usr/bin:/foo\ bar 505 $ type baz baz is /foo bar/baz 506 $ bash --version GNU bash, version 2.05b.0(8)-release (i686-pc-cygwin) Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc. ---
This is cygwin 1.3.20-1 on win2k sp3, CYGWIN=tty. And you're right, it hasn't come up on the list before, so probably others aren't seeing it either. What is different about your particular installation, I have no idea.
