	Ug...As soon as I unmounted the invalid drive and mounted something
valid, the problem went away.  Very weird.  Now it's not coming back.

	I just reinstalled Win 7 (for the 4th time, but who's counting!) last weekend, so my problems may have been 'eaten' by my reinstall. 

	I suppose I could try other ways to break it again, but... 
honestly, I'm not sure I really want to, given all the hassles I 
have getting things *not* to break!

	I'm trying out a roaming profile to see if I can keep some of my
settings/personal registry through my next reinstall (at this point I think
it's just a matter of when, not if).

	Overall cygwin is probably at least as stable as the OS ;-).

	Ok, maybe a bit more.  :-)
