Sorry, I don't understand. On Posix platforms, globbing is something
done by the shell, not by the application. Since Cygwin emulates
Posix, I would expect its applications not to glob on their own. Are
you saying that sometimes Cygwin applications do glob in their startup
code, like native Windows apps? (That's what I understand from the
URL you mentioned.)
Anyway, there's code in Emacs and cmdproxy to treat Cygwin
applications specially. Perhaps that code needs to be updated for the
current behavior of Cygwin programs. If so, I would welcome Cygwin
users to provide patches to that effect. Only those users have both
the motivation to fix Emacs in this area and the means to test these
patches.
TIA
