That would be nice, given that you have easy access to the problematic environment. I found another problem when accessing the DFS shares from Windows 7 which seems to affect not only Cygwin but also Windows Explorer. While it's not a Cygwin problem per se, an unwelcome side effect in Cygwin is a crash due to an overwritten stack. I'll look into avoiding the crash at least.
