I've installed that snapshot on my work laptop, part of AD domain. I
moved passwd and group out of the way and noticed my .bashrc is not
executed.
With 1.7.28:

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 PC205 1.7.28(0.271/5/3) 2014-02-09 21:06 i686 Cygwin

<snip list of 26 files in total>
With snapshot without passwd/group:
Frank@PC205 ~
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 PC205 1.7.29s(0.271/5/3) 20140213 14:06:26 i686 Cygwin

<this is the complete list of files>
Most noticeable difference between the two are in the dates of the
files (The months are in Dutch, and not in "long-iso") and not showing
the dot-files. Among others, I have set an export LANG=en_US and an
alias for "ls" in my bashrc for that.
Reverting to 1.7.28 (with passwd/group) solved the problem.

Frank
