One thing that can only help is fixing your home directory to point to
something reasonable.
Holy Cow! Good eye, though I don't know how _that_ happened?? When does
this entry get created? Did I have something funky in my Windows Env
Variables? Changing them in Windows doesn't change them _everywhere_ in
Cygwin, eh?
Nope. /etc/passwd is generated by mkpasswd which is invoked as a
postinstall script when you run setup. I can't fathom how it came
up with way you have though.
