One reason could be that you're accessing a remote samba share which has filenames with characters which are invalid utf-8 chars. In this case there's nothing Cygwin can do.

If it's *not* the above server-side problem, we would need a simple, self-contained, reproducible testcase, preferrably in plain C.
