Nice problem.  That's what happens if you try to do what an OS is doing,
without actually being an OS, just a user space lib.  Theoretically we
should never cache any file information but always call the matching OS
functions.  Only... this adds quite a few context switches every time
accessing files.  Sigh.

I just pushed 2d81f6ebe3dc ("Cygwin: open: always fix up cached DOS file
attributes after NtCreateFile").

Try the upcoming cygwin-3.7.0-0.47.g9e6193576f34.


Thanks,
Corinna
