Yes, in 1.5.25-11, it is _correctly_ failing with ENOENT.  But in CVS, it
looks like you changed it to return EISDIR instead?
http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/winsup/cygwin/fhandler.cc.diff?cvsroot=src&r1=1.313&r2=1.314

POSIX requires ENOENT, not EISDIR (if neither 't' nor 't/' exist, and you
are performing file name resolution for open("t/",O_RDONLY|O_CREAT), then
the resolution should be performed as if it were
open("t/.",O_RDONLY|O_CREAT) and fail with ENOENT since t is not a
directory).  EISDIR is reserved for cases like open("t/",O_WRONLY) when
"t/" already exists.
