OK,
Unset all env variables except the path. SQLPLus should pick em up from the
Registry OK. I'm geussing it's because SQLPlus cannot grog the cygwin mount
point in ORACLE_HOME etc.
Alternative is to set ORACLE_HOME etc using NT notation (not sure about
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Assume you don't need it for SQLPlus
Let me know how you go
