Below is a patch which works for me, though I'm not sure if it's
complete enough to catch all cases. There's code for OS2 in os_unix.c
which I reused, plus a new definition in mch_isFullName for the absolute
path on Cygwin.
I'd be grateful if the below or a more feasible patch which solves the
above problem, could be applied to vim.
I think this fixes only one specific problem. When Vim is compiled for
Unix it does not recognize DOS paths. And that matters in many places
(e.g., search for CASE_INSENSITIVE_FILENAME and BACKSLASH_IN_FILENAME).
Also behavior of a backslash in a file name changes. Making Vim for
Unix handle these things will be an awful lot of work...
True enough. But maybe fixing these problems as they turn up might
be a helpful approach? Anyway, what's noticable here is the fact
that this is a new problem in vim 7. It wasn't present in vim 6.4
so it is a regression.
Interesting enough it works in 6.4 without doing anything similar to my
patch does to os_unix.c. What's different in swap file handling between
6.4 and 7.0 so that it works in the former but doesn;t in the latter?

Is your 6.4 Vim compiled for Cygwin or for "native" W32? What is the value of
has("win32unix") ?
Best regards,
Tony.
