Posible bug in cygpath Windows -> Unix conversion

It looks like the conversion assumes a "drive_letter:slash" and so is
cutting the first 3 characters, producing the output you see.  This is
probably the result of using the -a option, forcing cygpath to assume
the source string is an absolute path when in fact it is not.
