Is there something I should do about this issue? I could look into the
source code of `test` on Cygwin if someone can point me to the correct
repository? Or should I just file an issue?

The issue is not a super high priority for me personally, but I guess
its quite a limitation of Cygwin if essential scripting functionality
is misbehaving on NFS.

All the best,
