This is apparently due to Corinna's latest patch which attempts to get
realpath working.  bash is calling cygwin_convert_to_full_posix_path
on the /cygdrive/... above and the return value now is different than

It's too late for me to investigate the problem but I'm sure that the
morning support team will be able to handle it.
