That message was memorial because I'd never seen it before. But I
can't recall what I was doing at the time. I only remember that I
copied my work from c:\ to my cygwin partition and the problem went
away.

I always use the //c/... convention to access C:\ from bash. I
also remember using the 8.3 name version of a directory along
about that same timeframe. That was memorial because I seldom do
that. Ahh! Perhaps there was a "space" in the pathname.

Nope. I just tried that. Wow, it works!

I don't know. Does it happen when you use ash as sh also?

Back to what Tim was suggesting... do you have a /tmp directory
or a TMPDIR and/or TMP environment variable in addition to the
Windows TEMP? I do, but I still got that error.
