I investigated further the problem and it turned out that the culprit is qt3 and not boost. The misunderstanding was caused by the fact that I link lyx against my own compiled qt library, patched for using native GUI graphics. I had also applied patches for UNC paths but happily forgot this :( Instead, Bo links against the official cygwin qt3 which has the bug. So, problem solved. The boost patch I posted early need not be applied. This is now a cygwin problem which should be solved by their qt3 maintainer. -- Enrico
