Directory named "." created at /: seems to have happened during update

[Fergus]

.. just to confirm. Booting from a Linux live CD, and with Cygwin [1.7] 
located on a mobile drive mounted at /m, I get

~> ls -al /m
total 635088
drwxr-xr-x  15 root root      4096 1970-01-01 01:00 .
drwxr-xr-x  15 root root      4096 1970-01-01 01:00 .

drwxr-xr-x  18 root root      4096 2010-02-05 09:55 usr
drwxr-xr-x  14 root root      4096 2010-02-05 09:55 var

Note extraordinary double occurrence of directory named ".".
