Actually the tests I ran in response to this thread used the most current
vim (6.1-2) and fileutils (4.1-1) with cygwin 1.3.17-1, 1.3.18-1, and the
latest snapshot. The versions you're using are out-of-date. But I expect
the main difference is in vim and some change there. But perhaps you can
help verify that by updating to cygwin 1.3.18-1 and rerunning the test.
Then try again with the most current vim (6.1.-2).
