There is no special source code of 'test' on Cygwin.  Assuming you're working in 
a bash shell, 'test' is a shell builtin, so the source code is part of the 
source code of bash.  (I don't know if other shells have a 'test' builtin.) 
Alternatively, if you're running /usr/bin/test.exe, then it's part of the 
coreutils package.

Either way, looking at that source code is not likely to help, except to see 
what system call it uses to test the access.

I don't know anything about NFS, but I doubt if this is a general problem with 
NFS on Cygwin.  There's quite a bit of Cygwin code devoted to NFS shares, and 
the question is why this isn't working for yours.

Corinna is probably the only person who knows what questions to ask you to get 
to the bottom of this, and she's currently unavailable.  When she returns, maybe 
she can help.
