The pop-up is produced even before login, presumably during the load of
"bash --login -i" (but i also have /bin/bash in /etc/passwd, so this may also
be the reason).

I don't understand why a symlink is created during login, but in any case,
one can observe that CreateSymbolicLinkW was introduced in path.cc
during http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-cvs/2013-q2/msg00046.html, that occurred
immediately before the snapshot.
