1.3.3-1: cd // no longer works (correctly)

I've got a WinNT installation of Cygwin on my company computer. My hard
disk is partitioned and there are mounted network drives. For some reason:

    cd //<drive>   no longer works on any drive, at any time, but
    cd //cygdrive/<drive> does work.

Is there anything that I have done wrong and how do I fix it.

In an aside, I had several local directories and programs stored in /bin,
including emacs-20.7, and I have a source version of gcc-3.0.1 stored in
the distribution directory. The result was that all of the local
directories and programs were rejected and copied to root. The gcc-3.0.1
installation failed (and I reinstalled gcc-3.95.3) and nvi failed (?) plus
some other installation programs. I then reinstalled version 1.3.3-1
correctly (with gcc-2.95.3) but nvi still failed. Do I need to uninstall
1.3.3.-1 and then reinstall?
