Well, at least you can see from the error message that /usr/bin/emacs is going
to be executed.

Actually, this is not the case:
$ ls -l /usr/bin/emacs
-rwxrwx---+ 1 FISRONA Domain Users 60 Apr 26 2019 /usr/bin/emacs
$ stat /usr/bin/emacs

Two things I find of interest here: Although I have installed the new version
using Cygwin's set-up program just a couple of days ago, the modify time goes
back to 2019.
And the size is too small!
