My problem is _precisely_ the Windows path shown by cygcheck. Everything 
_except_ Cygwin (as shown by cygcheck) is correct as far as I can see.

Attached is the output of the command:

strace -o strace_ls.log ls 1.7-log.txt

I don't think it tells us anything we didn't know. Cygwin, down under the 
hood, thinks Windows is on a: but all its variables show that it's on c:, as 
do Windows variables.

Ain't computers grand?
