Hmm, is it perhaps possible that this is a side effect of running some
aggressive virus scanner which needs tweaking? It's very strange that
it should make a difference, whether the drive is mounted as drive or
as junction point. There's no difference from Cygwin's POV, and the
content of the drive obviously doesn't change by this. Therefore...
well, it's grasping for straws, but still...
