I would nevertheless be glad if you would write something up about them, so we have it in the records should we ever re-examine this issue. > > > This is fixed now in CVS.

Cygwin converts the CP 20932 doublebyte sequences for JIS X 0212 into Unix compatible triplebyte sequences and vice versa. So Cygwin applications see a Unix-like eucJP implementation, not a CP 20932 implementation.
