This might be due difference between binary/textmode mounts in cygwin... 
Maybe they change for a reason or another in some of your updates...

Getting a bit offtopic, but I personally use scite, or to be precise 
wscite, scintilla based editor. Small, extremely lightweight and fast, 
has decent code colouring, block wrapping and such. And best of all, 
works well with different line-endings.

Of course there is some good alternatives in Cygwin distribution also...
