Does cygstart use CreateProcess and/or GetCurrentDirectory instead of fork/exec/getcwd?
If so, cygstart will have to call cygwin_internal(CW_SYNC_WINENV) before using the native Windows functions.
No, it uses ShellExecute (see "cygstart --reference"). It does indeed need to sync the environment, but it does this using its own code. (Predates cygwin_internal(CW_SYNC_WINENV); I still need to change cygstart some day to use it.)
However, this is unrelated to this problem, things go wrong long before that. It appears that cygwin_conv_to_win32_path incorrectly determines the current working directory.
It is called as follows:
cygwin_conv_to_win32_path(aPath, winPath);
where aPath == "hello.txt".
The current directory is "/cygdrive/c/user" =~ "c:\user", but cygwin_conv_to_win32_path thinks that:
normalize_posix_path: /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/hello.txt = normalize_posix_path (hello.txt)
(See Eric's messages for more debugging info.)
