That's precisely why I suggested unsetting TEMP and TMP in /etc/profile.

Indeed. But a question emerges: what does it happen if one starts a Windows
application, which needs TEMP or TMP, from Cygwin?
A Windows application is likely to fail on cygpath-transformed values of TEMP and TMP anyway, or am I missing something? (E.g. is there some implicit back-transformation if cygwin starts a Windows application?)
