"cygpath -u" inside backticks differs

[Ivan Dobrianov]

It may be something very simple, but I just cannot figure what it is, nor can I
find anything on the forums.

Here - see the different results:

/ > echo `cygpath.exe -u '\\DAEMON1\anrdaemon\.profile'`
/c/DAEMON1/anrdaemon/.profile

/ > cygpath.exe -u '\\DAEMON1\anrdaemon\.profile'
//DAEMON1/anrdaemon/.profile

So cygpath in backticks slaps a drive at the front, while otherwise it does
... well, what I expect.


Does anyone know why? Or know a thread where this is explained?

Many thanks!
Ivan

PS: I am running a fairly recent version of cygwin 1.7.27 ... and I just checked
it in 1.7.29
