Yes, that's what I get.  For two other native Windows commands, it
failed silently, yet for other native Windows commands, it also failed
with a "command not found" message.  Puzzling.

IIRC, when I had a little more time, about a month ago, I think I also
ran the whole invoking shell inside strace (ouch), which was what led
me to discover the directory-executable name clash.  Up till then, I
just had a mystery that one command on my path wouldn't execute from
Cygwin, and wouldn't report any kind of error.

HTH,

luke
