No, it's a collision of an internal flag with an official open(2) flag
from fcntl.h, used by grep in this case.  I changed the way the internal
flag is used so it doesn't collide with fcntl.h flags ever, even if we
add some more.

I uploaded new snapshots for testing to https://cygwin.com/snapshots/

Please give them a try.


Thanks,
Corinna
