It looks to me that this is happening because your cscope.out file
contains windows-style paths.  Is that the case?  If so, you should
know that cygwin only supports the use of posix-style paths.  That
being said, this patch defeats the entire point of having both a
"short" file name (ie, the one the user used) and a full file name
(ie, fully qualified).  So, normally, if you were to do :e hello.c,
then sfname would be set to 'hello.c' and ffname would be set to
$PWD/hello.c; this patch completely breaks that.
