Most likely correct.
To solve/workaround this problem, modify the PATH in the ~/.bashrc file to be
what it should be. NOTE: The smaller the PATH the faster cygwin will be.

Why not? Who else is converting DOS-style PATH variables to
Unix-style PATH variables?
W:. is certainly a legal (if slightly unusual) PATH entry.
//W. is certainly something very different.
I don't see that it can be anything BUT a cygwin bug.

PATH="$( echo -n $PATH | sed 's+//\([A-Z]\)\.+//\1+g' )"
seems to work well enough. I suggest putting the equivalent into
the PATH converter.

I have to disagree. This looks like a Cygwin bug to me. It is fixed in
the current snapshot, though.

The following PATH sequence:
;W:.;Z:.;Y:.;X:.;
which is typical for drives mapped by the Netware client, gets
converted into the following cygwin PATH sequence:
://W.://Z.://Y.://X.:
This is a bug and doesn't work.
I don't know if this is a general problem with converting relative path
entries.
Anyway, the result is long pauses during every PATH search,
presumably while the machine is looking for network hosts named
"W." and so on.
