I followed Phil's advice and cleaned up PATH. What is interesting is that even with a bare cygwin start (no .bash_profile or .bashrc) I still have /bin, /usr/bin, and /usr/X11R6/bin (followed by the windows' system and user paths) in my path. I am guessing this is something internal to cygwin.
I believe those paths are set by the batch file that you use to launch CygWin. You can edit it, but I would advise against removing those paths.
