Thanks for the report.  When removing the code which was supposedly
only affecting Windows 2000 and earlier, I didn't notice that this
code path is still required for floppy drives.  I don't own a floppy
drive for ages :}

This should be fixed in CVS.  Please give the Cygwin DLL from today's
snapshot on http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ a try.


Thanks,
Corinna
