Looks like something went wrong during patch conversion maybe: > 165 300357 [main] mintty 1652 find_exec: find_exec (/bin/bash) > 156 300513 [main] mintty 1652 perhaps_suffix: prog '/bin/bash' > 227 300740 [main] mintty 1652 normalize_posix_path: src /bin/bash > 126 300866 [main] mintty 1652 normalize_posix_path: /bin/bash = > normalize_posix_path (/bin/bash) > 104 300970 [main] mintty 1652 mount_info::conv_to_win32_path: > conv_to_win32_path (/bin/bash) > 176 301146 [main] mintty 1652 set_flags: flags: binary (0x2) > 71 301217 [main] mintty 1652 mount_info::conv_to_win32_path: src_path > /bin/bash, dst C:\cygwin\bin\bash, flags 0x3000A, rc 0 > 446 301663 [main] mintty 1652 symlink_info::check: 0xC0000034 = > NtQueryInformationFile (\??\C:\cygwin\bin\bash) > 153 301816 [main] mintty 1652 symlink_info::check: not a symlink > 206 302022 [main] mintty 1652 symlink_info::check: 0 = symlink.check > (C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe, 0x22B868) (0x3000A) > 101 302123 [main] mintty 1652 path_conv::check: > this->path(C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe), has_acls(1) > 110 302233 [main] mintty 1652 perhaps_suffix: buf C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe, > suffix found '.exe' > 95 302328 [main] mintty 1652 find_exec: /bin/bash = find_exec (/bin/bash) > 121 302449 [main] mintty 1652 spawnve: spawnve ((null), bash, 6A80E0) > 136 302585 [main] mintty 1652 spawn_guts: prog_arg is NULL > 128 302713 [main] mintty 1652 __set_errno: int spawn_guts(const char*, > const char* const*, const char* const*, int, int, int):281 val 22 ... causing this error; spawnve gets passed a NULL prog_arg which it doesn't like, and that's where the EINVAL comes from.
