I have seen the above when running the regression test about 9 months

But, I have not seen it in a long time -- so I *ass*umed that it was
"fixed" in Cygwin. If you can reproduce it, then please try to debug it.

BTW, are your running vacuumdb under cron or just at the command line?

I don't think so. It just sounds like you have "/cygdrive/e." in your
PATH before "/usr/bin".
