Hi,
Attached is a patch that fixes a bug in cygstart, triggered by changes
in Cygwin 1.5.19, where certain path-based environment variables (like
TMP) were not converted from POSIX to Win32. (See
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-02/msg00154.html>.)
It also contains the outstanding patch from Eric Blake to not let
cygstart parse any options listed after the to-be-started command. (See
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-07/msg01082.html>.)
Chuck, can you please apply the patch, and release a new version, at
your convenience?
A suggested list of changes:
* cygstart - properly convert environment variables to Win32
* cygstart - don't parse options listed after the command
Thanks in advance,
– Michael
