I meant a C:\Cygwin\dev directory.  Such directory doesn't exist, right?

There's no error in it.  Did you try `ls -l /dev/null'?  It should
print a character device node entry as on Linux.  If not, please
send another strace of such an `ls -l /dev/null'.  Otherwise, try
the `ls > /dev/null' in bash again.  If that still fails, try
`bash -c "ls > /dev/null"'.  If that fails, send an strace of that
command.

That's puzzeling.  I never saw a failure on using /dev/null before.
