nor from cygwin shell. Not a big problem, but annoying. Any ideas on how to
get rid of it?
Assuming you created C:\some\path\nul using del \\.\C:\some\path\nul in the Windows console might help you to get rid of it.
I think even that will fail.
The trick I ususally use is to rename it in the console, as CMD's "ren" seems to be more "ignorant" about nul than both mv, rm, del and even 4NT's "ren":
[in CMD:] ren \\.\C:\full\path\nul __crap del __crap
