Anders,
Cygwin by itself (i.e., without explicitly making the appropriate Windows
calls, as "shutdown" does) should not be able to reboot your machine. I'd
suspect a faulty driver of some sort. Does this problem happen on "ls
/cygdrive" as well?
My guess is you should be able to reproduce this problem from a pure
Windows program, by making the same call sequence as the one in
fhandler_cygdrive::set_drives() in src/winsup/cygwin/fhandler_disk_file.cc
(even just calling GetLogicalDriveStrings() might do it).
