Well, this is what I checked first (I have read all the messages from July
regarding delays caused by name lookups for DOS-style path names).
Anyway, this is what I get in a newly opened CMD.EXE window:
Microsoft(R) Windows NT(TM)
(C) Copyright 1985-1996 Microsoft Corp.
D:\>echo %PATH%
D:\Perl\5.00502\bin\MSWin32-x86-object;D:\Perl\5.00502\bin;D:\WINNT\system32;D:\WINNT
And this is from a fresh bash window launched via cygnus.bat:
Cygnus Cygwin32 B19
bash-2.01$ echo $PATH
/Cygnus/B19/H-i386-cygwin32/bin://D/Perl/5.00502/bin/MSWin32-x86-object://D/Perl/5.00502/bin://D/WINNT/system32://D/WINNT
bash-2.01$
But even if I had a stale network drive in PATH, this wouldn't explain
why the prompt is often delayed when I just hit <RETURN> on an empty
line -- why should the shell search the PATH when there's no command
to execute and the prompt is a constant string?!
Still wondering,
Arndt
