The equivalent for me (cd /c/"Program Files") works as your expecting though I normally wouldn't quote part of a path. I'm using cygwin 1.3.9-1 and WinXP. Try cutting and pasting the exact text from the session that shows the problem. > As an aside, 'cd /"Program*Files"' works fine with both dll > versions. > > I only replaced the cygwin1.dll in testing and did not upgrade > any of the cygwin executables (including bash.exe). > Perhaps this the problem? You've certainly given people something to blame until you can prove differently. It's not a good idea to 'just copy' individual files. > Are the newer cygwin1.dlls drop in replacements for the old versions > generally?
