bug when current directory has a trailling dot?

[Heraldo Maciel França Madeira <heraldomadeira at trt9 dot jus dot br>]

Hello,

I´ve noticed the following problem in accessing Windows executables from
specific directories.

If the current directory has a dot-ended component directory, like
~/x/y./z or
~/x. then some weird things happen (in bash, and in sh, as well):

----------------------------------
$ cd ~/x/y./z
$ /cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/netstat
bash: /cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/netstat: Not a directory

but

$ cd ~/x/y/z
$ /cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/netstat
blah, blah                                                   (its OK)

(it happens with other commands in place of 'netstat' above)

Regards

Heraldo
