Good question, don't know the answer to this.  My observations have led me to
the fact that the Virus Scanner is getting in the way.  This is especially true
after the updates to the virus db following the infamous "I LOVE YOU" vbs
virus.    

You might want to look at an strace to see what happens with /usr/bin/echo
within the Cygwin API's.  Do `strace -o ./echo.strace /usr/bin/echo' then less
echo.strace to page through the file.

No, that controls the pipes and redirection and if your executing from a
Non-Cygwin shell the stdio fd's.  The default is binmode for these anyway.
