Brian, I will look at this also. I appreciated all of the suggestions, but really just wanted to understand why Cygwin and Linux would be different in this area. The original reason behind posting to this group was because I believed that my install of Cygwin was not following the SusV3 spec. I

cygexec mounted binaries don't inherit PATH during dynamic loading

The last month or so I've been fooling around with using the 'cygexec' feature of the mount table to tell Cygwin that everything under /usr/bin is a Cygwin executable (except for strace and cygcheck.) However, a strange thing started happening recently. With the x11 server running I would try to
