The original problem was resolved after a reboot. There were other
funny (Ha-Ha) things going on too.
New issue: consider the following command sequence:
/c/cygwin.$ ls -l *log # copy log files from 1.5 to 1.7 node
-rw-rw-rw- 1 paul None 783 Feb 3 17:00 clock_dong.log
-rw-rw-rw- 1 paul None 594347 Mar 4 20:08 ping_log
-rwxrwxrwx+ 1 Guest None 18519 Sep 3 2007 setup.log
-rw-rw-rw- 1 paul None 2235 Jan 15 13:42 snapshot.log
-rw-rw-rw- 1 paul None 420 Feb 13 00:13 wget-log
/c/cygwin.$ cp -v *log ~-/
`clock_dong.log' -> `//clock_dong.log' <~-/ expanded to "//..."
cp: cannot create regular file `//clock_dong.log': No such file or directory
`ping_log' -> `//ping_log'
cp: cannot create regular file `//ping_log': No such file or directory
/c/cygwin.$ cd -
/
/.$ cd -
/c/cygwin
/c/cygwin.$ cp -v *log / # avoid "~-" expansion
`clock_dong.log' -> `/clock_dong.log'
`ping_log' -> `/ping_log'
`setup.log' -> `/setup.log'
`snapshot.log' -> `/snapshot.log'
`wget-log' -> `/wget-log'
/c/cygwin.$
Was there a change that make "//... " pathnames invalid?? I DID finally
got 1.5 and 1.7 running on same machine. I was pleasantly surprised.
Thanks Dave K.
