I've tested on a fully updated 2008 64 bit machine, with Cygwin 1.7.28, in 32 and 64 bit, and there's no such message for me. This is one of those problems which gets apparently introduced by some hotfix which is not part of the normal update procedure, and I can't change this code unless I can reproduce the problem. If somebody can reproduce this on the existing Windows versions, and this somebody feels not too repelled by plunging into assembler debugging ntdll.dll, mainly the function RtlGetCurrentDirectory_U and a subsequently called noname function, and compares what happens with the Cygwin function find_fast_cwd_pointer() in path.cc, please feel free to submit patches. Btw., what OS version *exactly* are you encountering this problem? Please send the output of `cygcheck -svr' as requested in http://cygwin.com/problems.html.
