I was thinking about this more, and maybe I'm fixated on the wrong code (since that code change "broke" it). Perhaps SUBST drives *should* be treated as native symlinks, and what needs to change is that native symlinks should not be dereferenced when launching native programs. I assume the symlink-dereferencing there predates the native symlink support, and was required since native programs wouldn't be able to traverse a cygwin symlink or .lnk file. -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
