What version of coreutils are you using? Attach the output of `cygcheck -svr' as described in cygwin.com/problems.html, then consider upgrading. __________________
I am attaching cygcheck in case you can find something obvious. However,I am reluctant to upgrade because the use of large static fortran arrays with cygwin/g77 seems to be a fragile issue and my current installation is now working (but only with -mno-cygwin).

On further reflection, this is not a problem I can safely ignore, since I use cygwin scripts for my backup routines. I tried rebooting and chkdsk to no avail, then tried to reproduce the problem, and found that I can reproduce it with the following script. (Which in fact I used before, but forgot about.) It is a newly written script, thus a likely suspect for the newly encountered problem.
Sorry about appending cygcheck.out as well as attaching it. Must have hit a wrong button.
