I have just remounted / in binary mode (mount -f -b c:/cygwin /) and the problem vanishes. Thank you! I might just re-mount all directories in binary mode - I assume that would give exactly the same effect as if I'd chosen UNIX newlines during the install? Both options have advantages so I wouldn't mind, providing this is a "clean" flip to the alternative system. - Daniel
