"which" command does not expand "~" in path

If your PATH contains the tilde character (eg. "~/bin:...") the cygwin version of "which" seems to fail to expand the "~" and will then not locate any commands in ~/bin (or any other directory on the path containing "~" presumably). I'm 99% sure it's cygwin's version of "which" causing th

1.5.11 win9x instability

I have been experiencing intermittent instability on win98se, but tried the same tests on another 98 box with similar problems, so I am confident that cygwin is the culprit. (my machine is solid outside of cygwin). I use the call to "find" below in one of my projects (webpack), and every once in

"which" with path $HOME/bin vs ~/bin

I recently switched my path from containing "$HOME/bin" to "~/bin" (by updating to a more recent skeleton of .bash_profile and removing stuff from my own .bashrc). Now a bash script of mine that uses "which " to see if a program exists started failing on programs contained in my ~/bin directory.

Midnight Commander screen corruption w/ built-in editor

I'm having a problem with mc's editor (4.6.0-4, also tried mc-4.6.0a-20030721 with same issue). (cygwin 1.5.9-1 on 98se) If you are editing a file wider than the screen, sometimes the display becomes corrupted, with odd parts of lines appearing at the left screen edge and the display seems to
