Re: can't 'cd /"Program Files"' with cygwin-1.3.9-1.tar.bz2 DLL
Mea culpa. My bug report is bogus. I did not realize I was using a bash alias for "cd" which did not have appropriate double quoting for its arguments.

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.

can't 'cd /"Program Files"' with cygwin-1.3.9-1.tar.bz2 DLL
I am not able to cd /"Program Files" with the cygwin1.dll from cygwin-1.3.9-1.tar.bz2. I can successfully do this same operation using the older cygwin-1.3.6-6.tar.bz2, however. Is this a regression? 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? Are the newer cygwin1.dlls drop in replacements for the old versions generally? __ Do You Yahoo!? Great stuff seeking new owners in Yahoo!
