getcwd() in cygwin 1.1.7 doesn't work properly in IIS web application

Wed Jan 10 12:03:00 GMT 2001

I have a CGI web application ported from Unix to the Windows NT / 2000
platform using Cygwin.  Recently I upgraded my Cygwin tools from the B20
release to 1.1.7.  After building my application with this new release, the
getcwd() function call does not return a valid path.  For example, if the
current directory in MS-DOS format is Ã‚Â“D:\abc\defÃ‚Â”, getcwd() returns
Ã‚Â“d/abc/defÃ‚Â”.   After further investigation, I found that if I run the
application in an MS-DOS command line window instead of my browser, getcwd()
does return a complete and valid path in the form Ã‚Â“/cygdrive/d/abc/defÃ‚Â”.
For some reason, the required Ã‚Â“/cygdrive/Ã‚Â” prefix is missing when the
application is run under IIS on both the NT 4.0 server and a Windows 2000
server.  Another weird situation is that if I have any Cygwin utility
running concurrently on the server (e.g. bash, cat or wc waiting for input
from stdin), then getcwd() does work properly when it is called under IIS.

Has anyone else experienced these symptoms?  I searched on Ã‚Â“getcwdÃ‚Â” in the
mail archives and could not find anything closely related.

Thanks for any help,
