Reference to absolute path seems broken.

According to Mathijs Romans on 2/29/2008 6:42 AM:
| (ERROR)
| Mathijs@chef /
| $ diff /Cygwin.bat Thumbs.db
| /usr/bin/diff: /Cygwin.bat: No such file or directory
|
| Notice the slash before Cygwin.bat. Is this normal?? Other commands
| such as 'ls' work fine.

The slash before the file name in the error message is normal - diff uses
the file name you typed in generating its message.  However, why the diff
was unable to find the file by its absolute name is not normal - I
couldn't reproduce it, so there is something different about your / than
there is for mine.  Running strace may shed some light on this, as well.

| Can somebody help me?
|

We need 'cygcheck -svr' output, as a text attachment, to learn more about
your /.
