Yes, that would fix it. But I think we have a bug here. In cygwin I
get:
$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINN
T:/cygdr
ive/c/WINNT/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft SQL
Server/80/Tool
s/BINN:/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/ULTRAE~1:/usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/blat184:/cygdr
ive/c/AP
I360/Programs:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Adobe/Acrobat
4.0/Distillr:/cygdrive/c/x
mlconvert:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/msxsl:/cygdrive/c/Program
Files/PKWARE:/cygd
rive/c/Program
Files/PKWARE/PKZIPC:/cygdrive/c/jdk1.3.1_02/bin:/cygdrive/c/TIFFl
Ib
In DOS I get:
C:\WINNT>bash -c "echo $PATH
/cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINNT:/cygdrive/c/WINNT/System32/
Wbem:/cy
gdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft SQL
Server/80/Tools/BINN:/cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/U
LTRAE~1:/usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/blat184:/cygdrive/c/API360/Programs:/cygdri
ve/c/Pro
gram Files/Adobe/Acrobat
4.0/Distillr:/cygdrive/c/xmlconvert:/cygdrive/c/Program

Files/PKWARE/P
KZIPC:/cygdrive/c/jdk1.3.1_02/bin:/cygdrive/c/TIFFlib
They shouldn't be different.

Like find, rexec, ... Having 'C:\Cygwin\bin' at the front of your PATH
environment variable would have solved this.
