I remember reading some time ago a vague admonition against manually
setting $HOME as a Windows environment variable.
I set mine to something sensible (usually d:\home or d:\home\userid) before installing Cygwin; I've never had any trouble. Perhaps the issue is with the spaces in the default $USERPROFILE?
