No, somebody on the xemcs list said "cygwin-xxxx fixes this other
problem in bash related to cygdrive. MAYBE it also fixes our xemacs
problem which is related to cygdrive. Can somebody check?"
And somebody DID check -- and reported "Nope, doesn't fix it"
End of story.

I think that debugging is ongoing right now. (But cygwin IS a moving
target; you can't blame folks for *hoping* that the fix for problem A
will also nail problem B...and delaying their debug efforts until after
they get the new kernel with the A-fix.
