Btw., the "..." directory is not recognized at all by cmd.exe. If you try to cd into it, it's simply ignored. If you set the CWD to it and start cmd, cmd thinks it is in the parent directory. This occurs on XP *and* W7.
At least on XP cmd and others could not be run from a subdir below "...": $ /bin/pwd /tmp/... $ cmd.exe /c cd C:\cygwin\tmp $ mkdir x $ cd x # /bin/pwd /tmp/.../x # cmd.exe /c cd -bash: /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/cmd.exe: Not a directory Same for "....", ".....", .... Different path checking in win32api layer and ntdll layer ? I would suggest to either quote or reject "..." in Cygwin.
