Our resident long-term cygwin user suggested that also.  The problem
originally surfaced with all mounts set to binmode, we later switched some
into textmode, but the problem persisted.

Ron Cook said the problem does not exist under Windows ME on his HP.
Maybe this is specific to windows 2000, or some sort of timing issue.

Unfortunately, the computers I have access to all run at roughly the same
speed, so I can't rule out that as the problem.
