Re: assertion "p >= path" failed

[Tim Adye <T dot J dot Adye at rl dot ac dot uk>]

Hi Ken,

I'm afraid I get a very similar error with 3.1.0-0.7:

assertion "p >= path" failed: file 
"/home/kbrown/src/cygpackages/cygwin/cygwin-3.1.0-0.7.x86_64/src/newlib-cygwin/winsup/cygwin/path.cc", 
line 2906, function: int symlink_info::check(char*, const suffix_info*, 
fs_info&, path_conv_handle&)

Again following resume from hibernation after going offline with the 
offline files as HOME (H:\). Again the only way out of the issue is to 
reboot.

Any other ideas to help me diagnose?

Thanks,
Tim.
