1.1.8: cygpath doesn't expand ~ correctly when running sh

[Doru Carastan <doru dot carastan at windriver dot com>]

D:\cygwin\bin>sh -c "echo $HOME"
/home/carastan

D:\cygwin\bin>sh -c "echo ~/bin"
~/bin

D:\cygwin\bin>sh -c "./cygpath -au ~/bin"
/usr/bin/~/bin

but

D:\cygwin\bin>bash -c "./cygpath -au ~/bin"
/home/carastan/bin

and

D:\cygwin\bin>cygpath -au ~/bin
/home/carastan/bin

work fine. Any ideas why?

Thanks,
Doru Carastan
