unfortunately, it does not fix the problems I was seeing - I still have
to go back to the 5/2 snapshot to get things to work

two manifestations of the problems I see are that cvs keeps thinking I
need to log in, and makefiles that work with 5/2 and previous suddenly
do stuff like:

~/LANL/JTpk/990816/JTpack$ gmake distclean
: No such file or directoryls
'.  Stop.ile_diste to make target `../Makeutils

my mount table looks (in part) like this:

~$ mount
Device              Directory           Type         Flags
E:\Local\cygwin\bin  /usr/bin            user         textmode
E:\Local\cygwin\lib  /usr/lib            user         textmode
E:\Local\cygwin     /                   user         textmode
E:\Home             /home               user         textmode
C:                  /win2k              user         textmode

I tried with /, /usr/bin, and /usr/lib as binmode just for the heck of
it, and it didn't change anything

let me know if there's anything you'd like me to try...
