It has the right to assume that. It's completely invalid to launch a shell
without /bin in your $PATH.

Besides, if you startup tcsh on a linux box with an empty $PATH, you'll get
the exact same problems, so Cygwin is DTRT-ing here! Here's an example:

The error is in launching the shell with incorrect environment variable
settings.
