Respectfully, I think you've misunderstood my problem. I've just
posted a followup which will show an out and out inconsistency (well,
at least in my opinion):

Shaddy@x-vista ~
$ ls /cygdrive/c/software/cygwin/cygdrive

Shaddy@x-vista ~
$ cd /cygdrive/c/software/cygwin/

Shaddy@x-vista /cygdrive/c/software/cygwin
$ ls ./cygdrive
c  d  e

Shaddy@x-vista /cygdrive/c/software/cygwin
$

IMO, the result of the first ls is the more logical. It at least is
consistent with 1.5 if anything else (not that this is a strong
argument).

Regards,
Shaddy
