This will be to do with how Windows and Linux handle UNC paths. On Windows and
Cygwin, //dot refers to a network share called "dot". On Linux (or at least the
RHEL6.2 system I just checked) //dot is a different way of expressing /dot.
On RHEL:
# mkdir /dot
# [[ /dot -ef //dot ]] && echo They look the same to me
They look the same to me
On Cygwin:
$ mkdir /dot
$ [[ /dot -ef //dot ]] || echo "But Cygwin thinks they're different"
But Cygwin thinks they're different

So what's the difference between the two Cygwin setups? The versions of
cygwin1.dll are probably most useful, although bear in mind "x worked with some
old version of Cygwin" tends to gather little sympathy unless the behaviour is
clearly a bug -- this isn't. At least to me.
