FWIW, after six years, it suddenly occurred to me how to easily work around this Windows limitation in cygwin. So, I have checked in some code to rectify this behavior. I'm trying to generate a snapshot but I just updated my gcc to 3.3.1 and it is not a given that it will work right. I should have something up eventually. Any snapshot greater than or equal to 2003-08-08 should have this fix in it. http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ -- Please use the resources at cygwin.com rather than sending personal email.
