This is indeed a Cygwin issue.  DDD has a resource called `vslPath';
it determines the places where VSL files are sought (including
themes).  This resource is a colon-separated list of directories, just
like the PATH envivonment variable.  Part of the default value for
`vslPath' is computed from two sources:

- your home directory, specified in the HOME environment variable,
- the DDD installation directory.

If any of these contains a DOS drive prefix (say, `c:/foo/bar'), this
will become part of the `vslPath' value, and DDD will happily
interpret this as two directories `c' and `/foo/bar'.  

I don't know whether this should be resolved in DDD or in your
environment, but there should be a simple workaround.  For instance,
can you set up your PATH such that different DOS drives are
referenced?  If so, how?

This is a JDB message.  If you invoke JDB as `jdb java MyClass', you
get just this message.  You probably meant `ddd --jdb MyClass'.
