cygpath 1.7.18 problem. cypath returns mangled filename

["John Daintree" <johnd at dyalog dot com>]

Hi,

I’ve hit a problem with cygpath. Here’s a script:

JD0=/cygdrive/d/obj/13.2.tmp/apl/win/32/unicode/winapi/dev/opt
JD=/cygdrive/c/src/13.2.dss/svn/misc/samples/tmp

cygpath --version

echo ......
echo $(cygpath -up "$JD0:$JD:$JD:$JD")
echo ......
echo $(cygpath -up "$JD0:$JD:$JD:$JD:$JD:$JD")
echo ......


Here’s its output :

cygpath (cygwin) 1.7.18

dss/svn/misc/samples/tmp:/cygdrive/c/src/13.2.dss/svn/misc/samples/tmp
......
Note that the second call to cygpath has “mangled” the first element of the
returned path. The only difference between that 1st and 2nd calls to cygpath
is the length of the argument.
Note that changing  the separator from : to \; doesn’t help – it still
mangles the return.

Chgcheck output is attached.

Thanks,
John
