No, bash defaults HOME to / and then that get's prepended to the path name
after it resolves the tilde character ~ sor ~/myfile bcomes //myfile. Now the
problem with //myfile is that // is translated to \\ and \\myfile as a server
doesn't exist. The time it takes to eventually time out is directly related to
the number of domains your associated with * the timeout period * the number of
retries. This is the reason we now have /cygdrive instead of using // to
denote an unmounted device/directory.
