Very sorry for the sketchy details of the bug report; I was in a
terrible hurry
to rewrite some lost code.
When I next boot into NT (it will be a few days), I'll provide the
output of
cygpath -s -v -r. (This was clearly stated in the bug reporting page; I
neglected to follow all the instructions.) I'll also try the latest
snapshot,
to see if this fixes things.
As another reader noticed, the problem occurs with a Samba share, if
this
helps in the interim. I did check the Samba source (2.0.3), and did not
see any errors therein. I can only repeat this problem through an NT
Samba
share using Cygwin. (Cmd works fine, believe it or not.)
When I get some free time (when? ha.) I'd like to pitch in and track
this
one down; I believe it's in Cygwin, though it's origin is ultimately in
DOS.
Thanks to all for your hard work.
