I confirm these symptoms on my 1.3.19 install. Running "ls -l /proc" shows a "registry" sub-directory:
dr-xr-xr-x 9 Everyone Everyone 0 Jan 30 08:59 registry/
A short listing of /proc/registry does show its contents:
% ls -1 !$
ls -1 /proc/registry
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
HKEY_DYN_DATA
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
HKEY_PERFOMANCE_DATA
HKEY_USERS
It also seems those entries can be "stat"-ed:
% ls -1F !$
ls -1F /proc/registry
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG/
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/
HKEY_DYN_DATA/
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/
HKEY_PERFOMANCE_DATA/
HKEY_USERS/
But mysteriously, "ls -l" fails:
% ls -l /proc/registry
ls: /proc/registry: No such file or directory
% type ls
ls is hashed (/usr/bin/ls)
And here's another interesting little glitch... In producing a cygcheck list to attach here, this occurred:
% cygcheck -s -v >"$DT/cygcheck-procRegistryProblem"
cygcheck: dump_sysinfo: GetVolumeInformation() failed: 87
cygcheck: dump_sysinfo: GetVolumeInformation() failed: 1
% echo "$DT"
/cygdrive/d/Documents and Settings/rschulz/Desktop
I didn't really look closely at the cygcheck output, but it appears mostly normal.

I see registry directory in ls output, but when I try to cd to it I get the same error as you.
