It really shouldn't make any difference, Cygwin just relies on the
underlying OS' support for devices. If you can open a file on the drive in
windows explorer and it doesn't come up full of garbage, cygwin ought to get
the same results.
Must admit I haven't a clue what's causing your problem, never seen anything
like it before. It looks like possibly the decompression is going wrong -
what happens if you run 'zcat' on the corresponding man page .gz file? I
can't reproduce what you get even after running the two export commands you
list there.
