Summary: bash mangles command line arguments

Initial Comment:
To reproduce:
1. Make a test program (see below) that echos its command line arguments
2. Open a bash window (I'm using Git Bash) and run 'testme /ABCDEF/'

Output...

$ ./testme /ABCDEF/
arg: c:\Documents and Settings\bfosdick\My Documents\devel\testme.exe
arg: C:/Program Files/Git/ABCDEF/

The last line of output shouldn't have a path in it. Adding various levels
of quoting/escaping doesn't change anything. Although '//ABCDEF/' doesn't
get mangled.

test code:

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    for(unsigned i=0; i<argc; ++i)
	printf("arg: %s\n", argv[i]);
}
