Yes, "drastic" was the word I thought of
when writing the suggestion. I don't know
what is causing the problem so I suggested
something drastic that might get around the
problem. If anyone knows specifically what
might be causing the problem and its solution,
then that, of course, would be preferable to
reinstalling the software.
Thanks for your "system mount" reset command.

Mark,
The solution you propose is quite drastic and unnecessary.
The problem
you mention has to do with the Cygwin mounts being user, rather than
system, mounts. First of all, there is a simple way to reset those
without re-running setup.exe and/or reinstalling Cygwin, by using
something like
eval "`mount -m | sed -e 's/ -u / -s /g' -e 's/$/;'`"
(the above is for the archives).
Oops, that's not much good for the archives, is it? *blush*
Here's the correct one:
eval "`mount -m | sed -e 's/ -u / -s /g' -e 's/$/;/'`"
Sorry about that.
Igor
