  I don't think we need to worry about it, yours is the only report we've ever
had of anything like this and it's clearly nothing to do with Cygwin per se
but to do with anything that creates "lots" of files at once, and even then it
only happens on a disk with an utterly bizarre life history!  There are lots
of people using 1.7 in everyday use without any kind of unusual problems
showing up.

    cheers,
