Ok. Got that. Now; Any ideas how to work further on this? Set breakpoints at "random" places in cygpath? I've been persuing a display of source to get a grip on what and where things are happening, but that seems to be totally over my head at the moment. Probable cause: I don't know a single thing about Windows nor Cygwin internals - and I'm seeing nothing but those parts of memory. /Hannu E K Nevalainen, B.Sc.
