This is what I find...:

	$ cd /home
	$ ls
	Administrator TBaker tbaker
	$ find TBaker
	TBaker
	TBaker/.bashrc
	TBaker/.bash_history
	TBaker/.bash_profile
	TBaker/.inputrc
        $

In other words, all of my files are in /home/tbaker except for the new
bash configuration
files, which are (the only) files in /home/TBaker.

When I upgraded to Cygwin 1.7, I now vaguely recall seeing
a message about creating new .bashrc files when I first ran the shell.

If I rename 'TBaker' to 'foobar' (to take it out of action) and re-run...:

	$ procmail VERBOSE=on <test.mbox
        procmail: [3240] Tue Feb 23 14:59:34 2010
        procmail: Locking "/var/spool/mail/TBaker.lock"
        procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/var/spool/mail/TBaker"
        procmail: Opening "/var/spool/mail/TBaker"
        procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock
        procmail: Unlocking "/var/spool/mail/TBaker.lock"
        procmail: Notified comsat: "TBaker@22513:/var/spool/mail/TBaker"
        From tbaker@tbaker.de Sat Feb 20 16:47:32 2010
         Subject: TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST
        Folder: /var/spool/mail/TBaker                   542

Evidently if it does not find /home/TBaker/.procmailrc, it does
not go looking for /home/tbaker/.procmailrc.  Since my entire
file system is based on tbaker, I'd love to find a way to eradicate
the "TBaker" from my system entirely.  The guy who set up my XP
installation many years ago set my login as "TBaker" but it has
never caused any practical problems until now.
