If this reference is what I think it is, then I don't think you'll find it
addresses your issue.  Actually, I just tried the latest DLL (1.1.5.x) and
similar actions worked OK for me.  I did this on W2K so I don't think there's
an issue there.  Here's the output of uname -a from this DLL:

CYGWIN_NT-5.0 ENTERPRISE-E 1.1.6(0.29/3/2) 2000-10-30 20:28 i686 unknown

Given that you note in another (private) email message that adding a "/"
to the end of the directory you cd to resolves the issue, it almost seems
to have the flavor of a CR/LF issue, though obviously that's not really it.
Can you ls any files in the directory with foo?  Can you ls that directory
itself?  Is you ls aliased to anything?

As you can tell, I'm grasping at straws!;-)
