You can either start bash and enter
umount / && mount -b <cgynus-path> /
which remounts your root directoy only in binary mode or
run regedit, search for
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Cygnus Solutions/CYGWIN.DLL setup/b15.0/mounts
and change [0-9][0-9]/fbinary from 0 to 1

Just have a look at <cygnus-path>/cygnus.bat - it contains everything
you may need ! If you want, you can put these env vars to your user
environment, so you don't have to always run cygnus.bat.

This is related to non binary mounts and to the CYGWIN32 env var, which
should contain at least "tty" !

I can send you a bunch of files, but I'm afraid that my setup is way too
complicated for a beginner. My .bashrc only has about 1000 lines :)
