cygwin_conv_path sometimes removes trailing slash

Python stackdump on "succesful" exit after import of python-requests

Hello, I am having a strange issue with Python 2.7 on cygwin. Whenever a script of mine imports 'requests' (python-requests installed via cygwin installer), after it closes I get an "Aborted" message and a stack dump. This consistently causes the issue: $ python Python 2.7.10 (default, Jun  1 20
