Maybe I shouldn't blame W7 for the weird Cygwin file mishandling. I 
recently observed that every time the ".. stopped working" message 
appears on screen, it is matched by the transient occurrence of a McAfee 
icon in the taskbar. Of course, it being a work machine, I cannot 
disable McAfee in order to research any links between strange Cygwin 
behaviours and it. Just love workplace paranoia and the consequent 
imposed protections: the cure is, always, so much worse than the disease.
