Weird path duplication for shell scripts?

[David O'Riva]

Cygwin b20.1, Windows NT sp4

While building man, I ran into this odd problem:  Executing a shell
script with an explicit relative path causes duplication of the path
section, resulting in the script failing.  Example:

[assumes a subdirectory "x" containing a shell script "scr"]
bash$ x/scr
x/x/scr: Can't open x/x/scr
bash$

STRACE confirms this:
[...]
15746  644741 [main] sh 1022 dll_crt0_1: Application CYGWIN version:
20.1, api: 0.0
16564  661305 [main] sh 1022 dll_crt0_1: CYGWIN DLL version: 21.0, api:
0.8
16610  677915 [main] sh 1022 build_argv: argv[0] = '/usr/bin/sh.exe'
16627  694542 [main] sh 1022 build_argv: argv[1] = 'x/x/scr'
16787  711329 [main] sh 1022 build_argv: argv[2] = '(null)'
16552  727881 [main] sh 1022 DllList::initAll: call to DllList::initAll
16658  744539 [main] sh 1022 dll_crt0_1: user_data->main 0x40105C
17111  761650 [main] sh 1022 _open: open (x/x/scr, 0x0)
[...]

Help??  Sorry if this has been addressed before, couldn't find a thing
in the archives or the FAQ...
