Why is the above "/c/cygwin/startup.py" and not "/startup.py" as you
previously indicated?

I cannot explain the above behavior.

FWIW, the following works:

    $ cat /tmp/.pythonrc.py
    print '*** startup executed ***'
    $ PYTHONSTARTUP=/tmp/.pythonrc.py python
    Python 2.3 (#1, Aug  5 2003, 09:49:11) 
    [GCC 3.2 20020927 (prerelease)] on cygwin
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    *** startup executed ***
    >>>

BTW, I just noticed that you are using Cygwin Python 2.3-1.  Does 2.3-2
work any better?  The two packages are identical except for 32- vs.
64-bit, but maybe this is the difference?
