vi won't execute - symlink semantics changed?


I updated my Cygwin installation to the latest version, yesterday.
(That included the fresh bash-2.05-7 and binutils.)

Since then, I can't run vi except by either specifying the full path
/usr/bin/vi or using vim.  In other words, the symlink from vi ->
vim.exe does not get used.

I also notice that if you do a test -x /usr/bin/vi that now fails; I
believe it used to succeed.
