Re: cygwin can't find any path data after Vista Service Pack 2 upgrade

Shortly after updating vista to service pack 2, Cygwin broke.  It can't
find anything. The bash shell launches to /cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin. No
commands work, except for pwd and cd. If I invoke env by ./env (the only
way it works) I get:

I tried a complete uninstall and reinstall but have the same problem. I
used to have /home/strannik as a home directory. I could go back to that
or use the C:\User\strannik, but I can't figure out how to get either one.

Any idea what could have gone wrong, or what to look for?

I'd recommend starting here:

Seeing chycheck output as described in the above link should be helpful.
