strange behavior of cygpath


Hello,

I found that the behavior of cygpath was strange.

  kenji@ibm[88] cygcheck -c cygwin
  Cygwin Package Information
  Package             Version
  cygwin              1.3.18-1
  
  Use -h to see help about each section
  kenji@ibm[89] cygpath -pw 'c:\'
  c;c:\

In cygwin-1.3.14-1, the behavior of cygpath is the following.

  kenji@ibm[93] tar jxf cygwin-1.3.14-1.tar.bz2 usr/bin/cygpath.exe
  kenji@ibm[94] usr/bin/cygpath.exe -pw 'c:\'
  c:\

Since cygwin-1.3.15-2, the behavior of cygpath has changed.

  kenji@ibm[95] tar jxf cygwin-1.3.15-2.tar.bz2 usr/bin/cygpath.exe
  kenji@ibm[96] usr/bin/cygpath.exe -pw 'c:\'
  c;c:\

In the announcement of cygwin-1.3.15-1,
  - Fix for "cygpath -w -l returning garbage".
    (see http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-09/msg00749.html )
    (Christopher Faylor)

Is it related with? and the above is the specification of cygpath?
